Elfinland Wud, 1844. 'Thorow fire, and thorow flude, (Mudy mindis rage lyk a sea;) Thorow slauchtir, thorow blude, (A seamless shrowd weird schaipis for me!) And to rede aricht my spell, Eerilie sal nicht wyndis moan, Quhill fleand Hevin and raikand Hell, Ghaist with ghaist maun wandir on'. From "The Book of British Ballads", edited by S. C. Hall, vol. II, p. 428, [London: Jeremiah How, 1842-44]
