DAVIE GELLATLEY'S SONG, FR. WAVERLEY by WALTER SCOTT

Poet Analysis

First Line: FALSE LOVE, AND HAST THOU PLAYED ME THIS
Last Line: I'LL SMILE ON OTHER MEN.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;

False love, and hast thou played me this
In summer among the flowers?
I will repay thee back again
In winter among the showers.
Unless again, again, my love,
Unless you turn again;
As you with other maidens rove,
I'll smile on other men.
