WILLIE Wastle dwalt on Tweed, be spot they ca'd it Linkumdoddie, Willie was a wabster guid, Su'd stown a clue wi onie body: he had a wiſe was dour and din, A Tinkler Madgie was her mither;
 * Sic a wife as Willie had,
 * I wad na gie a button for her.

he has an e'e, she has but ane, the cat has twa the very colour; 've rusty teeth, forbye a stump, a clapper tongue wad deave a miller; a whiskin beard about her mou, her nose and chin they threaten ither;
 * Sic a wife, &c.

She’s bow-hough'd, she's beam-shinn'd, her limpin leg a hand breed-shorter; she's twisted right, she's twisted left, her balance fair in ilka quarter;
