*' A weaver's Just as good as nane, " A oreature worn to skin and bane, *< I'd rather lie through life my lane, •* Than cuddle wi* a weaver.** The lassie thocht to catch a laird.
But fient a ane about her cared ; For nane his love had e'er deolaredi Excepting, whileft-4 weaver.
Yet ne'er a weaver wad she tak'.
But a' that cam', she sent them back.
An' bann'd them for a useless pack.
To come nae mair and deave her.
Their sowen crook»— their trantlum gear^ Their trash o' pirns she oouldna bear ; An' aye theither Jibe and Jeer, She cuist at ilka weaver.
But sair she rued her pridefu* soom, E'er thrtUy fUckt had mark'd her horn, For down she hurkled a* forlorn.
In solitude to grieve her.
She gaed to kirk, she gaed to fair.
She spread her lure, she set her tnare.
But ne'er a niUae gat she there, Frae leading apes, to save her.
A.t last, unto the bam she gaed.
An' ilka e'oning duly pra^'d.
That some an^ might come to her aid.
An' frae her wants relieve her.
