The Freebooter’s Prayer
(Scotland, 1405)

Anonymous

THOU That willed us naked-born,

Send us meat against the morn—

Got with right or got with wrong

So we fast not overlong.

Prosper “Snaffle, Spur and Spear!”

Grant us booty, horse and gear;

Save our necks from hempen thrall,

Bless the souls of them that fall.
