A song from my Medieval ancestors of Scotland

The Twa Corbies” (“The Two Crows”).  It tells of two crows talking about the body of a young knight that they’ve found, and plan to eat.  They go into detail about how he’s been abandoned by “his hawk, his hounds, and his lady fair,” and how they’ll eat him and then line their nest with his hair.  It’s a fairly gruesome song by modern standards, but by medieval European standards it wasn’t outlandish at all.
