{120b} Variant E is a patched-up thing from five or six MS. sources
and a printed "stall copy." Jamieson published it in 1817. Motherwell
had heard a cantefable, or version in alternate prose and verse, which
contained the stanza. It is not identical with stanza xxxii. in
Scott's Jamie Telfer, but runs thus -
My hounds they all go masterless,
My hawks they fly from tree to tree,
My younger brother will heir my lands,
Fair England again I'll never see.
Child, part ii. p. 454 et seqq. The speaker is young Beichan, a
prisoner in the dungeon of a professor of the Moslem faith.
