To write the name of bonny lass;
And if the reason you should speir,
Why both alike are brittle geir,
A wee thing dings a lozen lame—
A wee thing spoils a maiden’s fame.
Tourist’s wit on a window pane at Lodore:—
When I see a man’s name
Scratched upon the glass,
I know he owns a diamond,
And his father owns an ass.
