15. On the opposite page, over against this
stanza, is written:
But part by richt, or part be wrang,
The auldman's duddie cloak he 's on.
G and H are printed by Kinloch and by
Buchan in four-line stanzas.
The stanzas printed by Motherwell, which
have not been found in his manuscripts, are:
| 10 |
Seven lang years he has been on the sea,
And Hynd Horn has looked how his ring may be. |
| 21 |
The auld beggar man cast off his coat,
And he 's taen up the scarlet cloak. |
| 22 |
The auld beggar man threw down his staff,
And he has mounted the good gray steed. |
| 29 |
She went to the gate where the auld man did stand,
And she gave him a drink out of her own hand. |
