They roar an' cry a' throu'ther; pell-mell

The very wee things toddlin' rin—run

Wi' stocks out-owre their shouther; over, shoulder

An' gif the custock's sweet or sour, if, pith

Wi' joctelegs they taste them; pocket-knives

Syne coziely, aboon the door, Then, above

Wi' cannie care they've plac'd them cautious

To lie that night.

The lasses staw frae 'mang them a' stole

To pou their stalks o' corn;[9]
