“Ne er put drunken to my name---

"Never out at eening ſteck me---

"Never gloom when I come hame---

"That ye'll ne'er, like Beſſy Miller,

“Kick my ſhins, or rug my hair---

"Laſtly, I m to keep the ſiller---

"This, upon your ſoul, ye ſwear!

"Oh" quo Meg---"Aweel," quo Watty,

"Farewel! faith I'll try the ſeas!

"O ftan' ſtill," quo' Meg, and grat aye!

"Ony, ony way you pleaſe!"

Maggy ſyne, becauſe he preſt her,

Swore to a' things owre again!

Watty lap, and danc t, and kiſt her!

Wow but he was won'rous fain!

Down he threw his ſtaff victorious!

Aff gaed bonnet, claes and ſhoon!

Syne below the blankets, glorious,

They enjoy'd the honey-moon
