12 THE DQMINIE DEPOS'D

They wrought together in a croud; By this time I was under cloud ; Yet bye and bye I underſtood, They made one more, For Jack he tun'd his pipe, and loud Wi' cries did roar.

Wi that they blam'd the Seſsion-Clark; Where is the lown hid in the dark ? For he's the father o' this wark: Swear to his mither, He's juſt as like him as ae lark. Is like anither.

Abont me then there was a din, They fought me out through thick an' thin Wi' deil hae her, an deil hae him, He's o'er the dyke; Our Dominie has now dunk in His arſe a pike.

Ye may weel judge I was right ſweer, This uncouth meeting to draw near, Yet forc'd I was then to appear. Although perplex'd ; But liſten how, and ye ſhall hear, The haggs me vex'd.

The Carlings Maggy had ſae cleuked, Before young Jack was rightly hooked, They made her twice as little booked, But to gae on, O then ! how like a fool I looked, Whan I ſaw John.
