Cast their heads, and screw their faces.

Caller herrin’s no got lightly;

Ye can trip the spring fu’ tightly;

Spite o’ tauntin’, flauntin’, flingin’,

Gow[3] has set you a’ a-singin’.

Neebour wives, now tent my tellin’

When the bonnie fish ye’re sellin’,

At ae word be in your dealin’,

Truth will stand when a’ thing’s failin’.
