<L>BEtrayed me, how can this be;</L>
<L>even by day light upon a day,</L>
<L>I met Prince <HI>Charles</HI> our Royal King,</L>
<L>and all the <HI>Grahames</HI> in their aray;</L>
<L>They were well d<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">e&s;t in Armour keen</L>
<L>upon the plea&s;ant Banks of <HI>Tay</HI></L>
<L>Before a King they might been &s;een</L>
<L>tho&s;e gallant <HI>Grahames</HI> in their aray.</L>
<L><HI>I</HI> have no Gold, <HI>I</HI> have no Land,</L>
<L>nor have I pearl nor precious &s;tone,</L>
<L>But I will &s;ell my &s;ilken &s;need</L>
<L>to &s;ee the <HI>Grhames</HI> but wellcome home.</L>
<L>To &s;peak of tho&s;e <HI>Grahames I</HI> think it be&s;t</L>
<L>they're men among&s;t good Company,</L>
<L>Into the Lands where we did walk</L>
<L>they're Lords into the South Countrie,</L>

<L>At the <HI>Gouk-head</HI> we &s;et our Camps,</L>
<L>our Leagure down there for to &s;tay,</L>
<L>Upon a dainty Summers day,</L>
<L>we rode our white H<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">r&s;e and our Gray</L>
<L>For they were then in Armour &s;heen,</L>
<L>as Gold &s;hines on a Summers day</L>
<L>The gallant <HI>Grahames</HI> were a&s;&s;embled there</L>
<L>before King <HI>Charles</HI> his Maje&s;ty.</L>
<L>I'll crown them night, I'll crown them day,</L>
