‘Have you got any dogs about the house, or any cats ava?
For I’m feared she’ll cut my mealpocks before I gang awa.’

‘O deil tak your mealpocks! my maidenhead’s awa.’

The lassie she got up again the hour before ’twas day,
For to gie the beggar hansel before he went away.

She went into the cellar, to draw a pot of ale,
