it were mair meet that those fine feet

were weel laced up in silken shoon;

an' 'twere more fit that she should sit

within yon chariot gilt aboon,

mally's meek, &c.

her yellow hair, beyondpare,

&nbspes trinklin down her swan-like neck,

and her two eyes, like stars in skies,

would keep a sinking ship frae wreck,

mally's meek, &c.
