"I had but twa horse, thou hast made me thrie!"

He's ta'en the steil jack aff Johnie's back,

The twa-handed sword that hang low by his thie;

He's ta'en the steil cap aff his head—

"Johnie, I'll tell my master I met wi' thee."

When Johnie wakened out o' his dream,

I wat a dreirie man was he:

"And is thou gane? Now, Dickie, than

The shame and dule is left wi' me.
