Fragment: 'And That I Walk Thus Proudly Crowned'

And that I walk thus proudly crowned withal Is that 'tis my distinction; if I fall, I shall not weep out of the vital day, To-morrow dust, nor wear a dull decay.

226. Song—I hae a Wife o’ my Ain

I HAE a wife of my ain, I’ll partake wi’ naebody; I’ll take Cuckold frae nane, I’ll gie Cuckold to naebody. I hae a penny to spend, There—thanks to naebody! I hae naething to lend, I’ll borrow frae naebody.
