An’ nowte cud match t’ sly fiddle-squeal

’At signall’d kiss i’ t’ cushion dance.

Noo poor Ben Wales is deid an’ geàn—

His marrow willn’t seùn be seen;

But rare top dancers many a yan,

He’s left to keep his memory green.

Nèa mair at ball or oald-fwoke’s-neet

We’ll see his gud reet elbow jog;

An’ when they laid Ben oot o’ seet,

T’ oald cushion dance went oot o’ vogue.
