But how shall ye be seen, Hynd Robert,
 O how shall ye be known,
Amang so mony gentlemen
 That wear the gold alone?

O where they wear the goodly bright gold
 I shall wear yellow and black;
And a little green hood behind my hair
 To hang down at my back.

But how shall ye be kent, Janet,
 Or how shall ye be seen,
Amang so many goodly ladies
 That ye maun gang between?

O where they wear a ring, Robert,
 I shall wear two and three,
And a girdle with a fair white stane,
 And by that ye shall ken me.

And where they wear but yellow lammer,
 I shall wear siller sheen;
And where they gang like a queen's handmaids,
 I shall gang like a queen.

A kell o' gowd abune my head
 And a band abune my eebree,
 And in every o' them a jewel stone
 My witness for to be;
