timeripple: (attir'd with stars)
I wad hae ta'en out thy twa grey e'en,
And put in twa een o' tree.


Is it just me, or does the last verse of Tam Lin make just as much sense if it's Janet speaking rather than the Queen o' Fairies? I mean, yes, the queen's just lost her favorite toy and this year's tiend to hell, and the two previous verses indicate that she's having a hissy fit. But gutsy, Christian Janet has just been through one heck of a freaky ordeal and might well be thinking, "is this sleazy guy worth the weird un-Christian stuff I just saw and did? I'm, like, scarred for life!"
