It's pain to keep, it's like a boil, it's duty them to clear man. O hout awa’ wi' pride lassie,  O hout awa' wi' pride, It’s that, that makes young men go by,  they’ll no mak you their bride.

So all young men that wants a wife, take warning by their look man;Love not a Lass that casts her head about like a game-cock man O well I know their eye lassie,  O well I know their eye, They’ll vex a man, and chap his pan,  his head they’ll hornifie.

So beware when Maggy Idle comes, a sooling to the fair man.If you incline she will resign the whole use of her ware man. And she draw you on laddie,  and she draw you on, She’ll burn you wi’ her merry bit,  and then you’ll sigh and moan.

MIRA’S CHARMS.

Prepar’d to rail, resolv’d to part, when I approach the perjur’d fair,What is it awes my tim’rous heart? why does my tongue forbear?
