Under the breed oak by the cave in the glen,
Where more of my mind to you I’ll explain.
PART II.
Her mother next morning, by the blink of her eye,
Betwixt her and Grigor great love did espy,
And she to her husband the same soon revealed,
Giving orders to watch them as they’re in the field.
All day then her father went looking about,
And after her he still kept a look out,
Till hard on the evening she went to the glen,
Where Grigor was waiting to hear her explain
The way they would manage and make matters go,
Her father did follow and heard them also,
He stepped in softly, stood over the eave,
Hearing their diseourses, how they would behave.
At length he advaneed, cried Grigor what now?
Is this the reward from such an orphan as you?
You know I’ve maintained you since seven years old,
And now your intentions they seem very bold.
Then Grigor ask'd pardon, and thus he did say,
Sir, I'm at your disposal, then do as you may;
The old man in a passion there ehiding did stand,
Till Katie took courage and speeeh into hand.
Why mean ye dear father on us for to frown?
Was this man a beggar I'm sure he’s our own,
He’s of our kindred, our flesh, and our blood,
And you know very well his behaviour is good.
'Tis him that I ehose for my husband, and shall;
Go, give all your riches to whom that you will,
