THO' WOMEN'S MINDS, &c.

THO' women's minds like winter windsMay shift and turn and a' that,The noblest breast adores them maist,A consequence I draw that.For a' that and a' that,And twice as meikle's a' that,The bonny lass that I lo'e bestShe'll be my ain for a' that.Great love I bear to a' the fair.Their humble slave and a' that:But lordly will, I hold it still,For &c.A mortal sin to thraw that:But there is ane aboon the lave,Has wit and sense, and a' that;A bonny lass, I like her best,For &c.And wha a crime dare ca' that?In rapture sweet this hour we meet,Wi' mutual love, and a' that;But for how lang the flee may stang,For &c.Let inclination law that.Their tricks and craft hae put me daft,They've ta'en me in and a' that;But clear your decks, and here's the sex'd,For &c.I like the jades for a' that.
