AH ! foolish Lass, what mun I do ?
My Modesty I well may rue,
Which of my Joy bereft me ;
For full of Love he came,
But out of silly shame,
With pish and phoo I play'd,
To muckle the coy Maid,
And the raw young Loon has left me.
Wou'd Jockey knew how muckle I lue,
Did I less Art, or did he shew,
More Nature, how bleast I'd be ;
I'd not have reason to complain,
That I lue'd now in vain,
Gen he more a Man was,
I'd be less a coy Lass,
Had the raw young Loon weel try'd me.
