Shall ever daunton me, or awe me,

My sweet wee lady,

Or if I blush when thou shalt ca' me

Tit-ta or daddy.

What tho' they ca' me fornicator,

An' tease my name in kintra clatter: country gossip

The mair they talk I'm kent the better, more

E'en let them clash; tattle

An auld wife's tongue's a feckless matter feeble
