wi&039; braw new branks ickle pride,
and eke a braw new brechan,
y pegas i&039; got astride,
and up parnass pech;
whiles owre a bh wi&039; donwward crh,

i a nae stranr to your fa,
nor his war urd wishes
your bonie face sae ild and sweet,

and faith ye&039;ll no be lost a whit,
tho&039; wair&039;d on willie chalrs
auld truth hersel&039; ight swear yer&039;e fair,
and honour safely back her;
and odesty assu your air,
and ne&039;er a ane istak her:
and sic a love-spirg een

nae wonder then they&039;ve fatal been
to honest willie chalrs
i doubt na fortune ay you shore
i-ou&039;d pouther&039;d priestie,

and fructify your aours,—
