30 THE SKY-LAKY,
Sandy has ousen, has gear, and has kye,
A house and a hadden, and siller foreby
But I'd tak mine ain lad wi' his staff in his hand.
Before I'd hae him wi' his houses and land.
He said, &c.
My daddy looks sulky, my minny looks sour,
They frown upon Jamie because he is poor;
Tho' I loe them as well as a daughter shou'd do,
They are nae half sae dear to me, Jamie, as you.
He said, &e.
sit in my creepie, and spin at my wheel,
And think on the laddie that loo'ed me sae weel
He had but ae sixpence, he brak it in twa,
And he gied me the ha'f o't when he gaed awa%
Then haste ye back, Jamie, and bide na' awa';
Then haste ye back, Jamie, and bide na' awa
Simmer is comin, cauld winter's awa*,
And yell come and see me in spite o' them a*.
CATCH.—LOVE AND MUSIC.
How great is the pleasure, how sweet the delight,
"When soft Love and Music together unite.
