“ When Candlesticks do serve for bells,
⁠and frying-pans do serve for ladles,
And in the Sea they dig for wells,
⁠and porrage-pots they do serve for cradles,
When all maids prove true to their loves,
⁠and a man on his back an ox can carry;
And when the mice with the cat doth play,
⁠O then my Love and I'll be married.

“ But say have e got goud for to busk me ay gaudy,
⁠With ribbons, and pearls, and breast-knots anew,
A house that is canty, wi' plenishing plenty,
⁠Without them ye needna come here for to woo”
"I haena got goud for to busk you ay gaudy,
⁠Wi’ ribbons, and pearls, & breast-knots anew;
I brag nae o’ my house, nor my plenty;
⁠But still I’ve a heart that is true.
I carena for tocher, I ne'er heard o’ ony,
⁠Never lov’d Peggy, nor yet brack my vow;
Poor fool! I ha’e wander’d for a fause floe sae bonny,
⁠I little thought this was the way for to woo." ”
