THE WOOING OF JENNY AND JOCK.
This very curious song dates not later than the regency of Moray,
as it is inserted in the Bannatyne Manuscript, 1568. In the present
copy, which was directly transcribed from the MS., the spelling is
modernised, but no other changes are made. The vanity of the
mother-in-law, which leads her to give a catalogue of her daughter's
worldly goods and chattels, and draws from the wooer an ecjually
minute inventory of his possessions, may be considered fortunate
for us, as we are thus furnished with an exhaustive picture of the
' guids and gear ' of a Scotch yeoman of the sixteenth century.
