210             TONE-POETRY OF ROBERT BURNS
No. 235. O, Willie brewd a peck 0 maut.
Tune: Willie brew'd a peck o' maut Scots Musical Museum, 1790, No. 291
O, Willie brew'd a peck o' maut,
And Rob and Allan cam to see ; Three blyther hearts that lee-lang night
Ye wadna found in Christendie.
Chorus. We are na fouy we're nae that fou, But just a drappie in our e'e; The cock may craw, the day may daw, And ay we'll taste the barley bree.
Here are we met three merry boys, Three merry boys I trow are we ;
And monie a night we've merry been, And monie mae we hope to be!
