“…The younges brother he stepped in,
            Took’s sister by the hand;
            Said, Here she is, my sister Maisry,
            Wi the hinny-draps on her chin.
             ‘O if I were in some bonny ship,
            And in some strange countrie,
            For to find out some conjurer,
            To gar Maisry speak to me!’…”
