The peur man cries out Armyes aye,

I see that she’s noe like to mend,

She beggers me with haver and hey,

I wish her some untimous end.

Nae sooner pray’d, but as soon heard,

She touck a fawing down behind,

She wad a thousand men a scar’d,

To have felt her how she fill’d the wind.

Her master he went out at night,

Of whilk he had oft mickle need,
