NOW wat ye wha I met the Streen, coming down the Street my Jo? My Mistress in her Tartan Skreen, sow Bonny braw, and sweet my Jo: My Dear, quoth I thanks to the Night, that never wish't a Lover ill, Since ye're out of your Mother's Sight, let's take a wake up to the Hill. O Katy, wilt thou gang with me, and leave the dinsome Town a while, The Blossoms spruting frae the Tree, and a the Summers gawn to smile, The Mavis, Nightingale, and Lark, the bleating Lamb and whisling Hynd, And ilk Dale, Green Shaw, and Park, will nourish Health glad your Mind. Soon as the clear good Man of Day, bends his Morning Draught of Dew, We'll gae to some Burn-side and play, and gather Flowers to busk your brow: We'll pow the Deazies on the Green, the lucken Gowans from the Bog, Between Hands now & than we'll lean, and sport upon the Velvet Fog. There's up into a pleasant Glen, a wie Pice frae my Father's Tower, A cany soft and flowry Den, which airling Birks has form'd a Bower; When e're the Sun grows hot and warm, we'll to the cauler Shade remove, There will I lock thee in my Arm, and love and kiss, and kiss & love. Katy's Answer. MY Mother's ay glouring o'er me, Tho' she did the same before me, I cannot get leave to look to my Love, Or else she'll be like to devour me, Right fain woo'd I take ye'r offer, Swet Sir, but I'll Tine my Tocher Then Sandy ye'll fret, and wyt your poor Kate, When e'er ye seek in ye'r toom Coffer, For tho' my Father has plenty, Of Silver and Plenishing dainty; Yet he's unco swear to twin wi his Gear, And sae we had need to be Tenty: Tutor my Parents wi Caution Be wylie in ilk a Motion, Brag well o' ye'er Land, and there's my leal Hand, Win them, I'll be at your Devotion.
