she says she loes me best of a'

tune—“oonagh's waterfall.”

sae xen were her ringlets,

her eyebrows of a darker hue,

bewitchingly o'er-arching

twaughing e'en o' lovely blue;

and aye my chloris' dearest charm—

betraying fair proportion,

wad make a saint forget the sky:

sae warming, sae charming,

her faultless form and gracefu' air;
