Bobin's Jock cam to woo our Jenny,
On our feast-even when we were fou ;
She hrankit fast and made her bonny,
And said, Jock, come ye for to woo ?
She burneist her, baith breist and brow,
And made her clear as ony clock ;
Then spak her dame, and said, I trow,
Ye come to woo our Jenny, Jock.
Jock said, Forsuitk, I yearn full fain
To loot x my heid, and sit down by you :
Than spak her mother, and said again,
My bairn has tocher-guid 2 to gie you.
Te-hee, quoth Jenny, Keek, keek, I see you !
Mother, yon man maks you a mock :
I shrew thee, leear ! full leese me you,
I come to woo your Jenny, quoth Jock.
My bairn, she says, has of her awin
Ane guse, ane gryce, 3 ane cock, ane hen,
Ane calf, ane hog, ane foot-braid sawin, 4
Ane kirn, ane pin, that ye weel ken ;
Ane pig, 5 ane pot, ane raip there ben,
Ane fork, ane fiaik, ane reel, ane rock,
Dishes and dublers nine or ten :
Come ye to woo our Jenny, Jock ?

Ane shool, ane sheet, and ane lang flail,
Ane ark, 6 ane amry, r and ladles two,
Ane inilk-syth, with ane swine-tail,
1 Stoop. 2 Portion. s Young pig.
4 Corn sufficient to st>w a foot-breadth. 5 Pipkin.
