but fhe was a weelfard maid,
The bonieft lafs that's under the fun;
1 fpier'd gin fhe could fancy me,
But her anfwer was, I am too young.
To be your bride I am too young,
To be your loun wad fhame my kin,
.So therefore pray young man begone,
For you never, never fhall my favour win.
^ But amang yon birks and hawthorns green,
Where rofes blaw and woodbines hing,
O there I learn'd my bonie lafs,
That fhe was not a fingle hour too young.
The lafsie blufh'd, the lafsie figh'd,
And the tear ftood twinklin in her e'e;
O kind Sir, fince ye hae done me this wrang,
Its 'bray when will ye marry me.
Its of that day tak ye nae heed,
For that's a day ye ne'er fhall fee;
For ought that pafs'd between us twa, -
Ye had your fhare as weel as me.
She wrang her hands, fhe tore her hair,
rtShe cried out moft bitterlie*
O what will I fay to my mammie
' j When I gae hame wi' my big bellie!
O as ye maut, fo maun ve brew,
And' as >e brew, fo maun ye tun;
But come to my anus, nu ae bonie lafs,
For ye never fhall rut what \o now hue done.
