No other theme to him is dear
Than lofty deeds of thine :
Hush'd be the strain thou canst not hear,
Last of a mighty line.*
WOOD, AND MARRIED, AND A'.
Tune — JVoo^d, and Married, and a\
The bride cam out o' the byre,
And, O, as she dighted her cheeks I
Sirs, I'm to be married the night,
And have neither blankets nor sheets ;
Have neither blankets nor sheets,
Nor scarce a coverlet too ;
The bride that has a' thing to borrow,
Has e'en right muckle ado.
Woo'd, and married, and a'.
Married, and woo'd, and a !
And was she nae very weel off,
That was wooVl, and married, and a' ?
Out spake the bride's father.
As he cam' in frae the pleugh ;
O, baud your tongue, my dochter,
And ye'se get gear eneugh ;
The stirk stands i' th' tether,
And our bra' bawsint yade,
Will carry ye hame your corn — •
What wad ye be at, ye jade ?
Out spake the bride's mither,
What deil needs a' this pride ?
I had nae a plack in my pouch
That night I was a bride ;
* From The Scottish Minstrel, 1824-8.
