Sae brag nae mair o' your Butts & Benns,laddie that's no the gate to woo;Tho' ye had a hunder Cocks and Hens,they ne'er wad gar me tak ye now.
As for your Hen wi' the Happity Leg,laddie ye're surely daft or fow!D'ye think that I can dine on ae Egg?'deed friend ye're makin game o' me now.
Ye say ye've a Pig that will soon be a sow,laddie I like the truth to tell;When ye brag o' your Ca'f that'll soon be a Cow,I'm flee'd ye're but a Ca'f yoursel.
And for your Kebbock up i' the Skelf,'hark, an' I'll tell you how to do;Ye maun ta'k o' naething but luve for luve,for that's the gate a young lass to woo.
For gin I could think ye liket me weel,laddie I tell you truly now;I wad leave my daddie and minnie at weel,an' blythly the night gang aff wi' you.

THE LADIES AMUSEMENT.
This morning is so very fine,we'll to the meadows walk,And when we to the town return;with shop-men we will talk.And a shoping we will go.
