Again upon her.
Besides, I farther maun allow,
Wi’ Lizzie’s lass, three times I trow;
But, L—d, that Friday I was fou,
When I came near her,
Or else thou kens thy servant true
Wad ne’er hae steer’d her.
May be thou lets this fleshly thorn
Beset thy servant e’en and morn,
Lest he owre high and proud should turn,
