84 Orpheus Caledonius.
But when the Word's gane thro' the Town,
Alake ! how can (he mend it ?
Now Tarn maun face the Minifter,
And fhe maun mount the Pillar j
And that's the way that they maun gae,
For poor Folk has na Siller.
Now ha'd ye'r Tongue, my Daughter young,
Reply'd the kindly Mither,
Goxjohnyh Hand in haly Band,
Syne wap ye'r Wealth together.
I'm o* the mind, ifheb>ekind,
Ye'll do your part difcreetly 5
And prove a Wife, will gar his Life,
And Barrel run right fweetly.
XXXVIII.
