Product Description:

ANONYMOUS (13th- I5th century, British) Sir Patrick Spew The king sits in Dumferline town, Drinking the blude-reid wine: "O whar will I get a guid sailor To sail this ship of mine?" Up and spak an eldern knicht, Sat at the king's richt knee: "Sir Patrick Spens is the best sailor That sails upon the sea." The king has written a braid letter And signed it wi' his hand, And sent it to Sir Patrick Spens, Was walking on the sand. The first line that Sir Patrick read, A loud lauch lauched he; The next line that Sir Patrick read, The tear blinded his ee. "O wha is this has done this deed, This ill deed done to me, To send me out this time o'the year, To sail upon the sea? "Make haste, make haste, my mirry men all, Our guid ship sails the morn." "O say na sae, my master dear, For I fear a deadly storm. "Late late yestre'en I saw the new moon Wi'the auld moon in her arm, And I fear, I fear, my dear master, That we will come to harm." O our Scots nobles were richt laith To weet their cork-heeled shoon, But lang owre a' the play were played Their hats they swam aboon. O lang, lang may their ladies sit, Wi' their fans into their hand, O e'er they see Sir Patrick Spens Come sailing to the land. O lang, lang may the ladies stand, Wi' their gold kembs in their hair, Waiting for their ain dear lords, For they'll see thame na mair. Half o'er, half o'er to Aberdour It's fifty fadom deep, And there lies guid Sir Patrick Spens, Wi' the Scots lords at his feet.
