In Cotillons the French excel;
John Bull, in Countra-dances;
The Spaniards dance Fandangos well.
Mynheer an All* mande prances:
In Fourfome Reels the Scots delight,
The Threefome maift dance wondrous -
ButTwafome ding a' out o' fight, (light;
Danc'd to the Reel of Bogie*..
Come, Lads, and view your Partners well
Wale each a blythfome Rogie;
.1*11 tak this Lafsie to myfel,
She feems fae keen and vogie:
Now, Piper lad, bang up the Spring;
The. Countra fafhion is the thing,
To prie their mou's e're we begin
To dance the Reel of Bogie.
Now ilka lad has got a lafs,
Save yon auld doited Fogie,
And ta'en a fling upo' the grafs,
As they do in Stra'bogie.
But a' the lafses look fae fain,
We canna think ourfel's to hain;
For they maun hae their Come-again,
To dance the Reel of Bogie.
, Now a' the lads hae done their beft,
Like true men of Stra'bogie;
We'll ftop a while and tak a reft,
And tipple out a Cogie:
Come now, my lads,&. tak your glafs.
And try ilk other to furpafs,
In wifhing health to every lafs
To dance the Reel of Bogie .
