If my wife fhould die not a word I would cry

nor no one would hear me lamenting,

But fingle again while life would remain,

experience would fettle my ranting.

Was I age feventeen and preferd to a queen

and all the riches that adorned Jerufalem

The devil a fhe fhould ever catch me,

tho‘ l'd live to be as old as Methufalah.

A NEW SONG

Tune— Auld langsyne.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot an never brought to mind,

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

an days of langfyne.

For auld langfyne my dear,

for auld langfyne.

We‘ll take a cup of kindnefs yet

for auld langfyne.
