Syne a wi' ae Coiifent (hook Hands,
As they flood in a/ Ring 5
Some red their Hair, fome fee their Bands',
Some did their Sark Tails wring :
Then for a Hctpp upo' the Sands
They did their Minftrel brings
Where clever Houghs like Willi-wands,
At iika blythfome Spring,
Lap high that Day.

For by the Wame he gripped Kate 3
And gar'd her gi'e a Skreigh : ;>

While the young Swankies on the Green
Took round a merry Tirle :

And Fouk wad threep that flie did green/
For what wad gar her skirle
And skreigh fome Day.
