“ Sin' Johnie's turn'd Temp'rate how happy are we,
He says an' he feels that he is better far,
Than when he frequented the BULL or the STAR,
He's aye hame in time, an' gangs sober to bed
An' up in the morning aye wi' a hale head.
The strongest he drinks now is Coffee or Tea!
Sin' Johnie's turn'd Temp'rate how happy are we;
He wasna lang enter'd an' ere Johnie wist,
We had ham on the eleek, an' meal in the kist,
For now he takes care an' brings home his bau-
An' we never want a bit butter or cheese. ”

“ Frae gills to half-mutchkins when ance they're begun,
Then Toddy, when ance they are fair on the run.
O! wad they be wise, like our Johnie and me,
An' drink naething stronger than Coffee or Tea,
The strongest he drinks now, &c. ”

“ She sneers like the fox when I speak about men,
I wonder what she makes a wark at—
For I'm sure if her mother's example she'd ta'en
She never had stood in the market—the mar-
She never had stood in the market. ”
