The BLYTHSOME BRIDAL.

FY let us a' to the bridal,
for there will be lilting there,
For Jocky's to be marry'd to Maggy,
the laſs wi' the gouden hair.
And there will be lang-kail and pottage,
and bannocks of barley-meal;
And there will be a good ſa't herring,
to reliſh a cog of good ale.
Fy let us a' to the bridal, &c.

And there will be Sandy the ſouter,
and Will wi' the meikle mou';
And there will be Tam the bluter,
with Andrew the tinker, I trow:
And there will be bow'd legged Robbie,
with thumbleſs Katy's goodman;
And there will be blue-cheek'd Dowbie,
and Lawrie the laird of the land.

And there will be ſow-libber Patie,
and pluky-fac'd Wat i' the mill,
Capper-nos'd Patie and Gibbie,
that wins in the how of the hill;
And there will be Alaſter Sibbie,
wha in wi' black Beſſy did mool,
With ſnivelling Lilly and Tibby,
the laſs that ſtands aft on the ſtool.
