8 And if you prove a good husband,

E'en tak' your auld cloke about ye.

Bell, my wife, she lo'es nae strife

But she will guide me if she can;

And, to maintain an easy life,

I aft maun yield, though I'm gudeman.

Noughts to be won at woman's hand,

Unless ye gi'e her a' the plea;

Then I'll leave aff where I began,

And tak' my auld cloke about me.





FINIS.
