And fill it with so good a grace;
There's only ane that I do ken,
Amang the mortal sons o' men,
(illegible text)' that is Jackey; ance thy friend,
The fittest fellow e'er I kend;
Ony customers he knew right well,

(illegible text) winter nights, while round the ingle,
The wheels an' reels an' plates do jingle,
(illegible text) let him now tak' up the trade,
(illegible text) then I'm sure his fortune's made.
