Young Lochinvar is come out of the westHe alighted at Netherby gateSo boldly he enter’d the Netherby hallAmong bridesmen and kinsmen and brothers and allAnd, save his good broadsword, he weapons had noneHe rode all unarm’d, and he rode all aloneOh, come ye in peace here, or come ye in war?He stayed not for brake and he stopped not for stone‘They’ll have fleet steeds that follow,’ quoth young LochinvarFor a laggard in love and a dastard in warThere never was knight like the young Lochinvar’Twere better by far to have matched our fair cousin with young Lochinvar‘Now tread we a measure,’ said young LochinvarSo faithful in love, and so dauntless in warOne touch to her hand, and one word in her earHave ye e’er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar?There was mounting ’mong Graemes of the Netherby clanWith a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye
