“ Frae gills to half-mutchkins when ance they're begun,
Then Teddy, 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."

“ Sin' Johnie's turn'd Temp'rate how happy are we,
He says an' she feels that hn 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 land lam on the cleek, and meal in the list,
For now he takes care an' brings hame his ban-
An' we never want a lit butter or cheese.
