Where a' the night he thought for to sleep.

Then Dickie was aware of an auld peat-house,

Where a' the night he thought for to lye—

And a' the prayers the pure fule prayed

Were, "I wish I had amends for my gude three kye!"

[205]

It was then the use of Pudding-burn house,

And the house of Mangerton, all hail,

Them that cam na at the first ca',

Gat nae mair meat till the neist meal.
