The two constant Lovers in Scotland OR A pattern of true Love expressed in this ensuing Dialogue between an Earls daughter in Scotland and a poor Serving-man she refusing to marry the Lord Fenix which her Father would force her to take but clave to her first Love Tomey o' th Pots To a pleasant new tune IN Scotland there are Ladies fair there 's Ladies of Honor high degree Hey down down a down derry But one excels above all the rest and the Earl of Arundels daughter is she With hey down derry down lang derry down derry Both Knights and Lords of great account comes thither a wooing for this Ladies sake It fell on a day that E. Arundell said daughter which of these lords will you take Or which of them now likes thee best speak truth to me but do not lie Speak truth to me and do not jest who must heir my livings when as I die Lord Fenix is a Lord of high degree and hath both Lands and livings free I tell thee daughter thou shalt him have if thou wilt take any counsell at me With that the young lady fell down of her knee trickling tears ran down her eye As you are my father and loves me dear my heart is set where it must be On a Serving-man which is so poor for all he hath is but pounds three He was the first Lover that ere I had and the last I mean him for to be With that her father was sore offended and fast he rode at that same tide Untill he to the Lord Fenix came and said take thee my daughter for thy Bride The yong Ladie cal'd up Jack her foot-boy I dare trust no man alive but thee Thou must go my earand to Strawbery-Castle to the place where Tomy othpotts doth lye And carry this Letter in Parchment fair that I have sealed with mine own hand And when Tomey looks this Letter upon be sure his Countenance thou understand And if he either laugh or smile he is not sorry at his heart I must seek a new love where I will for small of Tomey must be my part But if he wax red in the face and tricling tears fall from his eyes Then let my Father say what he will for true to Tomey I le be alwayes And thou must tell him by word of mouth if this Letter cannot be read at that tyde That this day sen night no longer hence I must be lord William Fenix bride The boy took leave of his Lady gay and to Strawbery Castle he did him fast hie A Serving-man did guide him the way to the place where Tomey o th Pots did lie O Christ thee save good Tomey oth Pots and Christ thee save as I thee see Come read this Letter Tomey oth Potts as thy true love hath sent to thee Then Tomey he waxed red in the face and trickling tears ran down his eyes But never a letter could he read if he should be hanged on th gallow-tree Shee bid me tell you by word of mouth if this letter could not be read at this tide That this day sen night no longer hence she must be Lord William Fenix bride Now in faith said Tomey she is mine own as all hereafter shall understand Lord Fenix shall not marry her by night or day unless he win her by his own hand For on Gilforth green I will her meet and if she love me bid her for me pray And there I will lose my life so sweet or else her wedding I will stay He cal'd this boy unto accounts think whether he loved this Lady gay He gave him forty shilling for his message and all he had was but pounds three The boy took his leave of Tomey oth Potts fearing that he had staid too late The young Lady did wait of his comming and met him five miles out of the gate O boney boy thou art not of age therefore thou canst both mock scorn I will not beleeve what my love hath said unlesse thou on this book be sworn Now in faith gay lady I will not lye and kist the book full soon did he One letter he could not read at that time if he should have been hang'd at gallo-tree He said in faith you are his own as all hereafter shall understand Lord Fenix shall not marry you by night or day unlesse he winn you with his own hand For on Gilforth green he will you meet if you love him you must for him pray And there he will lose his life so sweet or else your wedding he will stay Let us leave talking of the boy That with his gay Lady is turned home Now let us go talk of Tomey oth Potts and how to his master he is gone WHen Tomey came his Master before he kneeled down upon his knee What tidings hast thou brought my man as that thou makes such courtesie O Christ you save dear Master he said and Christ you save as I you see for Gods love Master come read me this Letter which my true love hath sent to me His Master took this Letter in hand and looked ore it with his eye In faith I am fain my man he said as thou hast a Lady so true to thee I have a Lady true to me and false to her I le never be But ere this day senninght and no longer hence I must lose my love through povertie Lord Fenix he will her have because he hath more wealth then I now hold thy tongue my man he said for before that day many a one shall die O Tomey said he I love thee well and something for thee I will doo For Strawberry Castle shall be thine own so long as thou dost mean to woo One half of my Lands I le give thee a year the which will raise thee many a pound Before that thou lose thy bonny sweet-hart thou shalt drop angels with him to the ground I have thirty Steeds in my Stable strong which any of them is good indeed And a bunch of Spears hangs them among and a Nag to carry thee swift with speed My Sute of Armour thou shalt put on so well it becomes thy fair body And when thou

thy bride Now Christ reward you dear master he said for the good will you bear to me But I trust to God in a little space with my own hands to set her free I le none of your horses master he said for

it will not serve my turn I le suffer death for my true loves sake The second
