- (continued from previous page)III
But where ever I go lovely Mary,
In my bosom your image I'll wear,
Until death leaves me cold in oblivion,
Your image I'll cherish so fair.
When my foes they'll shout at me in battle,
And I'll find the smart of my pain;
Still faithful I'll be to you Mary
Fair maid of Lord Blayney's Demesne.IV
Pandora, Aurora er Venus, or to you I could scarcely compare
For your eyes shine like two sparkling diamonds
Or comets that fell from the air.
You left me scarce able to praise you,
Fair Gollen could scarce cure my pain;
You're the killing enchanting young creature
Fair maid of Lord Blayney's Demesne.- Informant
