A blethering,[[160]] blustering, drunken blellum;[[161]]
That frae November till October,
Ae market-day thou wasna sober;
That ilka melder,[[162]] wi' the miller,
Thou sat as lang as thou had siller;
That every naig was ca'd[[163]] a shoe on,
The smith and thee gat roaring fou on;
That at the Lord's house, even on Sunday,
Thou drank wi' Kirten Jean till Monday.
She prophesy'd that, late or soon,
