THIS IS NO MINE AIN HOUSE.

o.' This is no mine ain houfc,
I ken by the rigging o’t.
Since with my love IVe changed vows,
I dinna like the bigging o’t.
For now that Tm young Robie’s bride.
And miftrefs of his fire-fide.
Mine ain houfe I like to guide.
And pleafe me wi’ the trigging o’t.
When I am in mine ain houfe,
True love fhall be at hand ay.
To make me ftill a prudent fpoufe, *
And let my man command ay;
Avoiding ilka caufe of ftrife.
The common peft of married life, •
That makes ane wearied of his wife.
And breaks the kindly band ay.
Then farewell my father’s houfe,
I gang where love invites me;
The fhriftefl duty this allows.
When love with honour meets me.
When Hymen moulds me into ane.
My Robie’s nearer than my kin,
And to refufe him were a fin,
Sae langr’s he kindly treats me.
