8 Gar thee grow forgetfu’, and let his: heart bleed,

that anes had some hope of purchasing thine?

Rouze up thy reason, my beautifn’ Annie,

and dinna prefer your fleegaries to me;

O! as thou art bonny be faithfu' and canny,

and tain’t a true lover that donts upon thee.

Shall a Paris edition of new-fangle Sany

tho’ gilt o’er wi’ laces and fringes he be,

By adorning himself, be admir’d by fair Annie,

and aim at those benisons promis’d to me:

Rouze up thy resson my beautifu’ Annie,

and never prefer a light dancer to me;

O! as thou art bonny, be constant and canny,

love only thy Jamie who donts upon thee.

O! think my dear charmer, on ilka sweet hour,

that shade away saftly between thee and me,

E'er squirrels, or beaus, or sopp’ry had power,

to rival my love and impels upon thee.

Rouze up thy reason my beautifu’ Annie,

and let thy desires be a’ center’d in me;

O! as thou art bonny, be faithfu’ and canny,

and love him wha’s langing to center in thee.
