Rural Banks

Exhilarate the spirit, and restore
The tone of languid Nature.”

“Its whether will ye be a rank robber’s wife,
Or will ye die by my wee pen knife?

Its I’ll not be a rank robber’s wife,
But I’ll rather die by your wee pen knife.

He ‘s killed this may and he ‘s laid her by,
For to bear the red rose company.”
