7 Syne back wi' heart mair happy he returned, To sleep till fair day light. Clear raise the morn, When gaunting turn't him to the light, And something fand—not sav'ry—whare he lay— —The bed was shown and the ghaist was flown.

THE RESOLUTE LADY; Or, Fortunate Footman.

N Sherreaf there lived a Squire of great fame, And there was a young man that served the same; This young man was comely, his cheeks they were red, Although but a servant, yet he was well bred.

There was a sister unto this young Squire, Who daily did this young man admire, And she had a noble estate of her own, Not far from Trugger, it is very well known.

This sister at her brothers's often would be, On purpose this handsome young man for to see. One day by the brother this sister was spy'd, Walking in the garden by this servant's side.

He went to the Lady, and to her did say, What makes you to walk with my man I pray? The Lady she blush“d, but answer gave none; She called for her coach, and that moment went home,

O then he discharged his man in a spleen, And said for the future he should serve the King.
