SHE king sits in Dunfermline town Drinking the blude-red wine; 'O whare will I get a skeely skipper
To sail this new ship o' mine?' O up and spak an eldcrn knight,
Sat at the king's right knee, 'Sir Patrick Spens is the best sailor
That ever sail'd the sea.' Our king has written a braid letter,

To Noroway o'er the faem; The king's daughter o' Noroway,
'Tis thou must bring her hame.'
