Jvly Ehiddie fays gin I'll forfake him,
He'll gi'e me gude hunder marks ten,
But if it's ordain'd I maun tak' him,
O wha will I get but Tarn Glen ?
Yeftieen, at the valentines dealing,

For thrice I drew ane without failing,
And thrice it was written, Tarn Glen,
For tlirice I drew, &c.
Tlie laft hallowe'en I was wauk'ing
My drouket fark-fleeve, as ye ken.
His likenefs cam' up the houfe ftauking,
And the very grey breeks o' Tarn Glen.
Come counfel, dear Tittie, don't tarry;
I'll gi'e you my bonnie black hen,
Gif ye will advife me to marry.
The lad I lo'e dearly. Tarn Glen.
Gif ye will, &c.
