The wanton wee thing will rejoice,
When tented by a fparkling eye,
The fpinnet tinkling with her voice,
.
It lying on her lovely knee.
While kettles dringe on ingles dour,
Or claihes ftay the lazy lafs
Thir fangs may ward you frae the fowr,
And gayly vacant minutes pafs.
E'en whilethe tea's filFd reeking round,
Rather than plot a tender tongue*
Treat a' the circling lugs wi' found,
Syne fafely fip when ye have fung.^
May happinefs had up your hearts,
Andwarmyou lang with lovingfires
May
pow'rs propitious play their parts,
In matching you to your defires.
