Hunger, cauld, and a' sic harms, such

May whistle owre the lave o't.

Recitativo

Her charms had struck a sturdy caird, tinker

As well as poor gut-scraper;

He taks the fiddler by the beard,

An' draws a roosty rapier—rusty

He swoor, by a' was swearing worth,

To spit him like a pliver, plover

Unless he would from that time forth
