David Vedder, Paddy's rambles (1819)
“ Tho’ mother fret both soon and late; for me to wed this youth I hate; There’s nane may think to gun young Kate, but Donal’ o’ Dundee. When last I rang’d the banks of Tay, the ring he show’d to me, And had me name the bridal day, and happy would he be. I ken the laddie will prove kind, nae nair my mother will I mind, Mess John to me will quickly bind, young Donal’ o’ Dundee, &c. FINIS. This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
