(7) I whisper'd something in her ear;

But what’s that to you?

Her stockings were of Kersey green,

as as ony silk;

O sic a leg was never seen,

her skin was white milk;

Her hair was black as ane cou’d wish,

and sweet, was her mou’,

O! Jeany dainie can ;

But what’s that to you?

The rose a lilly combine,

to make my Jeany fair,

There is nae bennison like mine,

I have amaist nae care,

Only I fear my my Jenny’s face

may caufe mae men to rue,

And that may gar me say, Alas!

But what’s that to you?

Conceal thy beauties, if thou can,

hide that sweet face of thine,

That I may only be the man,

enjoys these looks divine.

O do not prostitute, my dear,

Wonders to common view.

And I with frightful heart shall swear,

For ever to be true.
