The Message

Topics: classic

(From Heine)     Up, dear laddie, saddle quick,     And spring upon the leather!     Away post haste o'er fell and waste     With whip and spur together!     And when you win to Duncan's kin     Draw one of them aside     And shortly say, "Which daughter may     We welcome as the bride?"     And if he says, "It is the dark,"     Then quickly bring the mare,     But if he says, "It is the blonde,"     Then you have time to spare;     But buy from off the saddler man     The stoutest cord you see,     Ride at your ease and say no word,     But bring it back to me.
