And Jock, without any pressing, sung, as lago did, — " King Stephen was a wortliy peer, His breeches cost him but a croon, He held them saxpence all too dear, And call'd the tailor tliicf and loon. 102 GABRIELLE STUART; OR, He was a wight of high renown, And tliou art hut of low degree ; t 'Ti.s pride tliat pulls the country down ; Then tak' thine auld cloak about thee." "Aye, John," said one, "your ain cloak is unco' like mine ; it's auld enough." " Yes, but, verra unlike yours, it's paid for,..." said John. " And Avho may King Stephen have been I " asked another. "What you can never be ! he was a gentle- man." "I can hear," shouted Tam M'Yulcan, the smith, " that ye hae no' yet mended your manners, Mr Mucklewut." " Wiser like," retorted John, " that you, Tam, were at hame mendin' your bellows ; for yesterday, when I passed your forge, the bellows were whistling waur than the auld mare your man was shoeing." " Dinna get drunk, John Mucklewut, before we're weel oot o' the toon," shouted Tam Currier, a tall fellow in a leathern jerkin and lonof leo-mno-s to match.
