To-day Ill gang to mill alan^,. An be na mair afeard;Ive been sae blate, Ill change my gate, An bauldly spier my mailin an kye, an gowd forbye, Na waur than ither men ;An gin the lassie loes or na, This day Ill rightly water hirsles as it rins, Aroun gaes the wheel;(A chicken-heartit chiel winna win a bonny lass) An hame gaes the meal.
