Tvva iuity lippis to lik ane lalddill,
To gang togidder Jynny and J ok.
Ane brechame, and twa brochis fyne,
Weill buklit with a brydill renze,
Ane fark maid of the Linkome t.vyne,
Ane gay grene cloke that will nocht fienzs, .
And zit for miller I will nocht fenze,
Fyve hundirth fleis now in a Rok ;
Call ze nocht that ane joly menze,
To gang togidder Jynny and J ok?
Ane trene truncheour, ane ramehome ipous,
Twa buttis of barkit blafnit ledder,
All graith that gains to hobbill fclione,
Ane thrawcruk to twyne ana tedder,
Ane brydill, ane girth, and ane fvvyne bledder,
Ane mafkens fatt, ane fetterit !ok,
Ane fcheip weill kepit fra ill wedder.
To gang togiddir Jynny and J ok.
Tak thair for my parte of the feift ;
It is vveill knavrfn I am vveill bodin ;

The wyfe faid, Speid, the kaill ar fodiiri,
And als the laverok is fuft and loddin ;
Quhen ze haif done tak hamethe brok..
The roft vves twclie, fa wer thay bodin ;
Syn gaid togiddir Jynny and Jok.
