"Wha is that at my bower-door?"
"O, wha is it but Findlay!"
"Then gae your gate, ye'se nae be here,"
"Indeed maun I!" quo Findlay.
"What mak ye, sae like a thief?"
"O come and see!" quo Findlay,
"Before the morn ye'll work mischief?"
"Indeed will I!," quo Findlay.
"Gif I rise and let you in"-
"Let me in! quo Findlay-
"Ye'll keep me waukin wi' your din?"
"Indeed will I!," quo Findlay;
"In my bower if ye should stay"-
"Let me stay!" quo Findlay-
"I fear ye'll bide till break o' day?"
"Indeed will I!" quo Findlay.
"Here this night if ye remain"-
"I'll remain!" quo Findlay-
"I dread ye'll learn the gate again?"
"Indeed will I!" quo Findlay.
"What may pass within this bower"-
( "Let it pass!" quo Findlay)
"Ye maun conceal till your last hour"-
"Indeed will I!," quo Findlay.
