ge for beggars, and they called it
amongst themselves the "Beggars' Rest," instead of the "Boar's Head."

As for Margary, she grew up to be the pride of the village; and in
time, Lord Lindsay's son, who had always kept the sprig of rosemary,
came and married her. They had a beautiful wedding; all of the
villagers were invited; the bridegroom did not cherish any resentment.
They danced on the green, and the Lindsay pipers played for them. The
bride wore a white damask petticoat worked with pink roses, her pink
satin shortgown was looped up with garlands of them, and she wore a
wreath of roses on her head.

The oldest woman came to the wedding, and hobbled up to the bridegroom
with a buttercup. "Thou beest a Lindsay," said she. "Thou lovest
butter, and the Lindsays all did. I know, for I was nurse in the
family a hundred year ago."

As for the schoolmaster, he was distressed. His wife had taken his
poem on the stranger for papers to curl her hair on for the wedding,
and he had just discovered it. He had calculated on making a present
of it to the young couple.

However, he wrote another on the wedding, of which one verse is still
extant, and we will give it:

"When Lindsay wedded Margary,
Merrily piped the pipers all.
The bride, the village-pride was she,
The groom, a gay gallant was he.
Merrily piped the pipers all.
When Lindsay wedded Margary."
