While dying raptures in her arms,
I give and take with Anna.

Awa thou flaunting god a' day,
awa thou pale Dianna,
Ilk star gae hide thy twinkling ray
when I'm to meet my Anna,
Come, in thy raven plumage night,
Sun moon withdrawn a';
And bring an angel pen to write
my transports wi' my Anna.


What are you going to stand?

Queer scenes now are all the go,
you cannot say I'm wrong:
And there is one I'd have you know,
I've worked into a song
Go where I will—in every street,
I'm shook sirs by the hand.
No matter who it is I meet
what are you going to stand?

One morn I'd been to get some cash
from a swell at the west end
Resolv d I was to cat a cash,
when I met with a friend.
