It’s no thro’ hatred o’ a kiss,
That £ sae plainly tell you this,

l’o be sae tea zed «;fore folk.
Behave yourstf afore folk,
Behave yoursei’ afore folk;
When we’re our lane ye may tak’ jute,,
But feint a ana afore folk.
I’m sure tae you I’ve been as free
As ony modest lass can be,
But yet it does na do to see,

Behave yoursei’ afore folkr
B have yourael’ afore folk;
I’lUne’er submit again to it,
iso mind you that afore folk.
You teM me that my face is fair—

But ne’er again ^ar’t biush sae sair.

Behave you-sei’ afore folk;
Nor best my cheeks wi' your mad freaks,
But aye be aouce atore folK.
Ye tell me that my lips are sweet,
8tc ta.’es I doubt ate a’ deceit;
At ony rate it’s hardly meet,
To pree these sweets afore folk.
Behave yoarsel* afore foU,
Behave yourscl’ afore folk;

Description | Over 3,000 chapbooks published in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries. Subjects include courtship, humour, occupations, fairs, apparitions, war, politics, crime, executions, Jacobites, transvestites, and freemasonry. Chapbooks are small booklets of 8, 12, 16 and 24 pages, often illustrated with crude woodcuts. Produced cheaply and sold by peddlars on the streets, they formed the staple reading material of the common people, along with broadsides. |
