O laith, laith, were our gude Scots lords

To weet their cork-heel'd shoon!

But lang or a' the play was play'd,

They wat their hats aboon.

And mony was the feather-bed,

That flattered[[82]] on the faem;

And mony was the gude lord's son,

That never mair cam hame.

The ladyes wrang their fingers white,
