fnood, Which coll her ma - ny a blurt

and blear eye.
Fair her hair, and brent her brow,
And bonny blew her een when near ye ;
The mair I priv'd her bonny mou,
The mair I wifh'd her for my deary.
The broo m was lang, the laffie gay,
And O but I was unco cheary ;
The fnood was tint, a well a day !
For mirth was turn'd to blurt and blear-eye.
I preft her hand, me figh'd, I woo'd,
And fpear'd, What gars ye fob, my deary ?
Quoth fne, I've loft my filken fnood,
And never mair can look fae cheary.
I faid, Ne'er mind the filken fnood,
Nae langer mourn, nor look fae dreary;
I'll buy you ane that's twice as good,
If you'll confent to be my deary.
