Poem
All ye good people, afar and near, To my request pray lend an ear; I advise you all without delay to go And see the Fair Maid's House - it is a rare show. Some of the chairs there are very grand, They have been cut and carved by a skilful hand; And kings, perchance, if fhe truth were told, Have sat on them in days of old. King James the First of Scotland was murdered there, And his cries for mercy rent the air. But the Highland robbers only laughed at him, And murdered him in the dungeon and thought if no sin. Then there's an ancient shrine upstairs, Where the Monks and Saints said their prayers, To the Holy Virgin, be it told; And the house, it is said, is six hundred years old. The old cruisie lamps are there to be seen, Which let the monks see to write from their sheen, Arld if the walls could speak, they could tell a fearful tale, Which would make the people's cheeks turn pale. Then there's an old claymore dug up from Culloden Moor, Which in its time shed innocent blood, I am sure, If not at Culloden Moor, some other place, Which no doubt the truth of it history might trace. The interior of the house is magnificent to be seen, And the wood panelling, I'm sure, would please the Queen; And the old fire-place, with its big fire, Is all that visitors could desire. Then there's a ring in a big stone near by the door, Where gentlemen tethered their horses in days of yore; And on the staircase door there's a firling pin For making a rattling noise when anyone wanted in. The mistress of the house is very kind, A more affable woman would be herd to find; And to visitors she is very good, And well versed in history, be it understood.
