“ The whigs wad coble and clean his shoon.

But let us sing God save the king,
Our king though foul or fair be,,
In spite o' wigs or breeks or Whigs,

“ In truth she's to me
Like the wind, like the sea,
Whose raging will hearken to no man;
Like a mill, like a pill,
Like a flail, like a whale,
Like an ass, like a glass,

And while romping with a girl,
By accident I tear her cap.

Yet I love a pretty girl,
A pretty girl is fond of me. ”

Derry down, &c.
And now, in good will, I advise, as a friend,
All Cobblers take warning by this Cobbler's end;
Keep your hearts out of love—for we find by what's past,
That love brings ns all to an end at the last. ”

“ I really think I ll tak‘ it.
Sae gang awa' get out the mare

But i ka chiel maun mourn wi' me,
o' a hinging toom meal pock. ”
