Next day she kentna what to do for grief. She then brak the pear, and found it filled wi jewelry far richer than the contents o the apple. Wi thae jewels she bargained for permission to be a second night in the young knights chamber; but the auld wife gied him anither sleeping-drink, and he again sleepit till morning. A night she kept sighing and singing as before:
Seven lang years I served for thee,c. Still he sleepit, and she nearly lost hope athegither. But that day when he was out at the hunting, somebody asked him what noise and moaning was yon they heard all last night in his bedchamber. He said he heardna ony noise. But they assured him there was sae; and he resolved to keep waking that night to try what he could hear. That being the third night, and the damosel being between hope and despair, she brak her plum, and it held far the richest jewelry of the three. She bargained as before; and the auld wife, as before, took in the sleeping-drink to the young knights chamber; but he telled her he couldna drink it that night without sweetening. And when she gaed awa for some honey to sweeten it wi, he poured out the drink, and sae made the auld wife think he had drunk it. They a went to bed again, and the damosel began, as before, singing:
Seven lang years I served for thee, The glassy hill I clamb for thee, The bluidy shirt I wrang for thee; And wilt thou no wauken and turn to me?
He heard, and turned to her. And she telled him a that had befaen her, and he telled her a that had happened to him. And he caused the auld washerwife and her dochter to be burned. And they were married, and he and she are living happy till this day, for aught I ken.[1]
