Frae Perth, London, Sheffield, frae Leſlie,
and ſome other ſma' towns in fife.

And there will be Tailors and Sutors,
and Weavers, and Maſons, and Wrigh
And Grocers, and Dominie Tutors,
to ſettle our Laws, and our Rights.
And there they uſe every invention,
their King and their Country to ſerve, (

THF CHOICE.

A Man that's neither high nor low,
in party nor in ſtature;
No noiſy rake, nor fickle beau,
that's us'd to cringe and flatter.

And let him be no learned fool
that nods o'er muſty books;
That eats and drinks, and lives by rule,
and weighs my words and looks.

Let him be eaſy. frank, and gay,
of dancing never tired:
Always have ſomething ſmart to ſay,
but ſilient, if requir'd.
