The distant Cumnock hills out-owre; above

To count her horns, wi' a' my pow'r,

I set mysel;

But whether she had three or four

I cou'd na tell.

I was come round about the hill,

And todlin' down on Willie's mill,

Setting my staff, wi' a' my skill,

To keep me sicker; secure

Tho' leeward whyles, against my will,
