And see you not that bonny road

That winds about the fernie brae?

That is the road to fair Elfland

Where you and I this night maun gae.

‘But Thomas, ye maun hold your tongue,

Whatever ye may hear or see,

For gin a word you should chance to speak

You will ne’er win back to your ain countrie.’

(Old Scottish Ballad:

Thomas the Rhymer)
