553. Song—O lay thy loof in mine lass

 Chorus—O lay thy loof in mine, lass,
In mine, lass, in mine, lass;
And swear on thy white hand, lass,
 That thou wilt be my ain.


A SLAVE to Love’s unbounded sway,
He aft has wrought me meikle wae;
But now he is my deadly fae,
 Unless thou be my ain.
 O lay thy loof, &c.


There’s mony a lass has broke my rest,
That for a blink I hae lo’ed best;
But thou art Queen within my breast,
 For ever to remain.
 O lay thy loof, &c.
