he&039;ll screed you aff effectual callg,
as fast as ony the dwallg
i&039;ve nane feale servant station,
(lord keep aye frae a&039; teptation!)

wi&039; weans i&039; air than weel ntented,

enough of ought ye like but grace;
but her, y bonie, sweet wee dy,
i&039;ve paid enough for her already;
an&039; g ye tax her or her ither,

ere i sae dear pay for a saddle;

i&039;ve sturdy bearers, gude the thankit!
the kirk and you ay tak you that,
it puts but little your pat;

nor for y ten white shillgs leuk

the day and date as under noted;
then know all ye who it ncerns,
