Deep the sna had wreath'd the plows,

Wi' Pate Tamson o' the hill :
* Come awa' (quo' Johnny), ' Watty !
' Haith we's hae anither gill.'
Watty, glad to see Jock Jabos,
And sae mony neibours roun',
Kicket frae his shoon the sna'-ba's,
Syae ayont the fire sat down.
Owre a broad wi' bannocks heapit,
Cheese, and stoups, and glasses, stood
Some ware roarin, ithers sleepit,
Ithers quietly chew'd their cude,
