The of the

OOR people of Scotiand with tears in their eyes

Stand and look at a ſixpenny loaf with ſurprize,

Our markets ſo dear, makes our hearts for to bleed,

When they hear their poor children crying for breed.

'Tis the meal-mongers and bakers cauſes this grief,

I think it is time they give us relief,

If they make their loaves bigger as they make their head,

I'm ſure we ſoon ſhall have plenty of bread.
