A merry glass before we go.

Come stir the fire and make us warm;

The night without is dark and wet;

An hour or twa 'twill do nae harm

The dints o' fortune to forget:

So now will have, come weal or woe,

Another glass before we go.

To bonny lasses, honest blades,

We'll up and give a hearty cheer;

Contention is the worst of trades—
