Jenny $ Bawbee.
I met four chaps yon birks aniang,
W hanging lugs and faces lang :
I spier'd at neighbour Bauldy Strang,
What are these we see P
Quoth he, ilk cream-fac'd pawky chief
Thinks hansel* cunnin' as the deil,
And here they cam awa to steal
Jenny's bawbee.
The first, a captain to his trade,
Wi' ilUlin,d skull, and back weel clad,
March cl round the barn, and by the shed,
And papped on his knee.
Quoth he,, My goddess, nymph, and queen,
Your beauty's dazzl'd baith my een I
But deil a beauty he had seen
But Jenny's bawbee.
A Norland laird iieist trotted up,
Wi"1 bawsent naig, and siller whup!.
Cried, Here's my horse, lad, haud the grup,
Or tie him to a tree.
What's go wd to me? I've wall h o ' lan—
Bestow on ane o' worth your hari\
He thought to pay what he was awn
W? Jenny's bawbee.
A lawyer neist, wi" blethrin' gab,
And speeches wove like ony wab ;
O ilk ane's corn he took a dab,
And a1 for a fee ;

�A r counts he ©w\t through a' the town,
A hd tradesmen's ton &amp;iies n ae m ai r cou 1 d drown
But now he \hoU'ght U clopt h is gown . . .
&gt;
W"\ Jcnnv'* bawbee.
Quite spruce, jVi; t frae the wasl\in' tubs
A fool pain .nei&gt;t, but life has,.rubs;
Foul were the the roi
and fir the dub$»
And *ai'r besniear'd was he:
He dan-e'd up/squintirf through a glass,
And gnnn'd, V l&amp;ith, afobri rile lass;
l i e thought to win wi* f ront o' brass,
JennyV bawbee/
She bade the laird gate karne his wig,
11)e sodger not to strut so big,
The lawyer not to be a prig ;
The fool he cried, Tee hee !
J ken'd that I eouid never fail :
But she prinn'd the dishciout to his tail,
And coolM him
a water-pail,
And kept her bawbee.
Then Johnnie cam, a lad o" sense,
A ltho' he had na tnony pence ;
And took young- Jenny to the spence,
Wi* her to crack a wee.
Now Johnnii was a clever chie^
And here his suit he pressVisae we el,,
That Jenny's heart grew salt as jeel,
And she biiTd her bawbee.

Mary.
Will ye go to the Indies, my Mary,
And leave auid Scale's shore ?

�5
Will ye go ta the Indie*, my Mary.
Across tlr Atlantic's roar?
0 sweet gVowsthe lime and the orange*
And the apple upon the pine,
But a the chaVms o' the Indies
Can ever e^ual thine.
1 h/i.e, swofii by the Heavens to my Mary,
I hge s wpri) by t lie II eaVens to be Vrue;
And sae mixy the Heavens forget me,
W hen I forget my vow !
O plight me your fait hp my .Mary,
, .
And plight me your lily-white hand ;
O plight me your faith, my .Mary,
Bef6re I leave; Scbtia^s strand.
We hae plighted our troth, my Mary,
In mutual affection to join,
And curst be the qause that shall part lis !
The hour and the moment o* time !

The Br aw Fickle Wooer*
Last May a braw wooer came down the lang glen,
And sair wi' his love he did deave me;
I said there was naething I hated like men I
The deuce gae w f m to believe me, believe me,
The deuce gae wi'm to believe me.
Re spak o'1 the darts oy my bonnie black een,
And vow'd for my loye he was dying;
I said he might die when he liked, for
The Lord forgie me for lyings f o r c i n g ,
The Lord for^ie me f e r Wing J

A weel-stoeked mailen, himself for the laird.
And marriage, aff hand, was his proffers:
I never loot on that I ken'd it, or carcl,
But thought I might hae waur offers, waur offers,
But thought 1 might hae waur offers.
But what wad ye think ? In a fortnight or less,
The deil tak his taste to gang near her!
l i e up the lang loan to my black cousin Bess,
Guess ye how, the jade I I could bear her, could
bear her,
Guess ye how, the jade ! I could bear her.
But a' the neist week as I fretted wi' care,
I gaed to the tryste o* Dalgarnock,
And wha but my fine fickle lover was there,
I glowrd as I'd seen a warlock, a warlock,
I glowrM as I'd seen a warlock.
But owre my left shouther I gae him a blink,
Lest neebours might say I was saucy;
My wooer he caper'd as heM been in drink,
And vowrd I was his dear lassie, dear lassie,
And vow'd I was his dear lassie.
I spier'd for my cousin, fu ? eouthie and sweet,
Gin she had recovered her hearin\
And how her new shoon fit her auld shack I't feet,
But, heavens4 ho w he fell a sweann\ a swearinV ,
But, heavens ! how he fell a swearin'.
«]
He begged for gttdesake ! I wad be his wife,
J
Or else 1 wad kill him vv'f sorrow:
a
So e'en to preserve tire poor body in life,
I think I maun wed him to-morrow, to morrow,
1 think I ~ maun wed him to-morrow.

The Landlady of France.
A landlady of France, she loved an officer, 'tis said,
And this officer he dearly loved her brandy, Oh !
Sighed she, I love this officer, although his nose
is red,
And his legs are what his regiment call bandy
Oh!
But when the bandy officer was ordered to the coast,
How she tore her lovely locks that looked so
sandy, Oh !
Adieu, my soul, says she, if you write pray pay
the post;
But, before we part, let's take a drop of brandy
Oh !
She filled him out a bumper, just before he left
the town,
And another for herself, so neat and handy, Oh!
So they kept their spirits up, by their pouring
spirits down,
For love is like the cholic, cured with brandy,
Oh!
Take a boUle on't says she, for your going into camp,
In your tent you know, my love, 'twill be the
dandy, Oh!
Your right, says he, my life, for a tent is very
damp,
And 'tis better with my tent to take some brandy,
Oh !
