LES CORDOISMERS DE SELKIRK A L\ BATAILLE DE FLODDEN, BALLADE ÉCOSSAISE DU XVI* SIECLE *

Up wi 'the southers of Selkirk, And down wi 'the Earl of Home;

And up wi 'a 'the braw lads, That sew the single-soled shoon,

Fye upon yellow and yellow.

And fye upon yellow and green.

Eut ut wi 'the true blue and scarlet, And up wi 'the single-soled sheen.

tJp wi 'the souters o' Selkirk,

For they are baith trusty and leal ;

And up wi 'the men o 'the Forest, And down wi 'the Merse to the deil.
