"Maybe yer weel stocked house and farm,

An' thretty lowing kine,

"May win some ither lassie's heart,

They hae nae charms for mine;

"For in the kirk I hae been cried,

My troth is pledged and sworn,

"An' tae the man I like mysel',

I'll married be the morn'."

The laird, dumfoundered at her words,

Had nae mair will to try'r;
