Nainfell was driving :cfs, man:
There was nae laws about him's n _,
About the preeks or trews, man.
Nainfell did wear the philabeg,
The plaid prick't On her ihoulder;
The giiid claymore hung pe her pelt,
The piftol fharg'd wi' pouder.
But for wheraa thefe curfed preeks,

Pe turn't to alteration;
The fodger dwall at our toor-fheek,
And tat s te great vexation.

And no come near her Turnimfpike,
