My advice ance was sought for by folks far and near,

Sic great wisdom I had ere I tint a' my gear,

I'm as weel able yet to gie counsel, that's true,

But I may jist haud my wheesht, for I'm naebody noo.

SONG.

There's plenty come to woo me,

And ca' me sweet and fair,

There's plenty say they lo'e me,
