( 6 )
Be pleas’d to marry your lassie,
O marry your lassie to me!
For I’ m resolv'd to hae her,
whether she live or die ;
Whether she live or die,
to mak her my wedded wife :
So I’ll live with my lassie
a sweet and contented life.

JENNY LASS, My BONNY BIRD.
[BY BURNS.]
JENNY, lass, my bonny bird,
My father’s dead, and a’ that,
And snugly laid aneath the yeard,
An’ i’m his heir, an’ a’ that:
I’m now a laird, an’ a’ that,
I’m now a laird, an' a’ that
I’ve gear an’ lan’ at my comman’,
An’ muckle mair than a’ that.
He left me, wi’ his diein’ breath,
A dwelling-house, an’ a’ that;
Guid byars an’ barns, an’ wabs o’ claith;
A guid peat-stack, an’ a’ that:
A mare, a foal, an’ a’ that,
A mare, a foal, an’ a’ that;
Sax guid milk ky, a ca’f forby;
