T IS THE FLEETNESS OF A WOMAN GAINST THE HUNGER OF A KING. She has rounded the mount, and now she nears the cottage. She has no eye for the treasure that is by.Gold and silver lie at hand on the fallen English band;She would never strip the slain, but she soon can win her land.So onward she still doth fly. Sir Walter and the king still were seated at the tableWhen came the dame to the threshold of the door.Said the king: Among the many thou art sure as true as any.Thou shalt hold this land forever, free of paying plack or penny,Both now and evermore. * 1 Only this: when perchance there cometh king of Scotland Any day this way, thus shall he take his toll:He shall halt in the close where the battle first arose,And a lady of thy family shall present him butter brose,In Robert the Bruces bowl.
