Or I had fed an Athole gled,
On the braes o' Killiecrankie, O. An' ye had been, &c.
Words slightly altered by Burns. |

CLXII
THE BLETHRIE O'T |
|||
 |
|||
|
Jockie was the laddie that held the pleuch,
But now he's got gowd and gear eneuch,
He thinks nae mair o' me that wears the plniden coat;
May the shame fa' the gear and the blethrie o't!
Jeany was the lassie that muckit the byre, But now she is clad in her silken attire ; And Jockie says he lo'es her, and me has forgot, May the shame fa' the gear and the blethrie o't!
But all this shall never daunton me,
Sae lang as I keep my fancy free ;
For the lad that's sae inconstant is nae worth a groat,—
May the shame fa' the gear and the blethrie o't!
From Johnson's Museum. |
