I bid gud morrow fair Maid, and she right courteouslie,
Bekt lew and fine, kind Sir, she said, gud day agen to ye;
I spear'd o her, fair Maid quo I, how far intend ye now?
Quo she, I mean a Mile or twa, to yonder bonny brow.
Fair Maid, I'm weel contented to have sike Company,
For I am ganging out the Gate that ya intend ta be;
When we had walk'd a Mile or twa, Ize said to her, my Doe,
May I not dight your Apron fine, kiss your bonny brow.
Nea, gud Sir, you are far misteen, for I am nean o'those,
I hope ya ha more Breeding then to dight a Womans Cloaths;
For I've a better chosen than any sike as you,
Who boldly may my Apron dight and kiss ma bonny brow.
Na, if ya are contracted, I have ne mar to say,
Rather than be rejected, I will give o'er the play;
And I will chose yen o me own that shall not on me rew,
Will boldly let me dight her Apron, kiss her bonny brow.
Sir, Ize see ya are proud-hearted, and leath to be said nay,
You need not tall ha started, for eight that Ize ded say;
You know Wemun for Modestie, ne at the first time boo,
But, gif we like your Company, we are as kind as you.
