As you ſo freely give your ſtore,
And you each other do adore,
Now take her Jack, here's as much more,
For you a clever Sailor.

Now meſsmates we've got ſafe to port,
and I am happy marry'd,
I hope my lads we'll have ſome ſport,
and crown the day with claret:
My frigate ſhe is rigged right.
With ſilks and rings moſt gay and bright,
And I ſhall ſhow to you this night
I am a valiant Sailor.


A WIFE OF MY AIN.

Frae Clyde to the banks o' ſweet Earn,
I ve travel'd fu' mon lang mile.
But thoughts of my deareſt laſs Annie,
th weariſome hours did beguile:
The happy wae night that we parted,
ſhe vow'd ſhe wou'd conſtant remain;
My heart-ſtrings a' dirl'd wi' fondneſs!
I kiſs'd and kiſs’d her again.
