“ Spring dances o’er the plain,
Flowering all the woodland scene,
With blooming garlands in her train,
To welcome summer back again.

“ In shape and feature beauty’s queen,
In pastoral, in pastoral array.
Chorus.
Shepherds tell me, tell me, tell me have you seen,
Have you seen my Flora pass this way,
Have you seen, tell me, shepherds, have you seen,
Tell me have you seen my Flora pass this way.
A wreath around her head, around her head she wore
Carnation, lily, lily, rose,
And in her hand a crook she bore,
And sweets, and sweets her breath compose.
Shepherds tell me, &c.
The beauteous, the beauteous wreath that decks her head,
Forms her description, her description true. ”

But ne’er say a herring is dry until it be reestit and smeekit.
We treated young Mr M'Gock,
We plied him wi’ tea and wi’ toddy ”
