Tim,
I'm guessing GLAITIG in the first line is a typo? And that the word is really GLAISTIG, as elsewhere? (Not that it tells me much either way.)

All the Scots and Dutch, must be my lucky day. Even the ones not listed
explicitly as such.
Let's go with a couple unlucky numbers, 6 & 13.

So many Scots. Too many Scots. Can't be Scottish. On the other hand, it sounds like an adjective ...
How about 4 (at least it isn't Scottish) and 5 (even though it is)?

I fancy the sylph but not the goat, however, acknowledging the dangerous
dual nature of the realm of fay then I have to take the 'consistency to
the genus' of #13 which leaves me with the danger of the clear water
over which she presides, to go with her
so, #5 and #13 for me please
