A DIALOGUE Between Ald John M'clatchy , and Young Willie Ha , about the Marriage of his Daughter Maggy M'clatchy . To an Excellent New Tune . THE Meal was dear short shine , When they were Married together ; Ann Maggy she was in her prime , When Willy made Courtship till her . Twa Pistols Charg'd be-guess , To give the Courtier a Shot , Ann sine came ben the Lass , Wee Swats drawn frae the Butt : He first spears at the Good-man , Ann sine at Jean her Mither , Gin ye 'll gi'e us a bit Land , We 'll Buckle our selves together . Old Man . My Daughter ye shall ha'e I 'll gi'e ye her be the Hann , But wee my Wife I man quat Gin I quat we my Lann ; But your Tocher shall be good , I 'll ne'er gang nen the meek , The Lass bin in her Snood , And Cromy that kens the Stake ; Wee an ald Bedding o' Clea's , Was left me by my Mither , They 're geet-black o're wee fleas You may H — dle in them together . Young-Man . A Bargain it shall be , But ye man mend your Hann , Ann think on Modestie ; Gin ye 'll no' quat wee your Lann , We are but young ye ken , Ann now we 're ga●n together , A House is But and Ben , Ann Cromie she wants her Fadder ; The Bairns are coming on , Ann they 'll cry on there Mither , We ha'e neither Pot nor Pan , But four bair Legs together . Old Man . Thou shall ha'e Tocher aneugh , Ann that thou need not fear , Twa good stilts to the Pleugh , Ann thou thy self man stear ; Thou 'st ha'e twa good ald pocks , That was enst made of the Tweel , The teen to had the Groats , The tither to had the Meal : Wee an ald Kist made o' wans I 'll give thee to thy Coffer , Wee eiken woddie bans , And that may had your Tocher . Young-Man . Consider now Good-man , I ha'e but barrow'd geer , The Beast that I Ride on , Is Sanny Wilson's Meer ; But as soon as I gan heem , I 'll take me to my Cutts , The Saddle is nean of my ain , Ann these are barraw'd Boots , The Clock is Geordie Wat's , That gars me look so Cruss , Fy fill us a Cog o'Swats We 'll mak ne ma●e toomrouss . Old-Man . Thou art an onest Lad , For telling me so plain , I Married when little I had , Of Gear that was my ain ; Good-sooth if it be se , The Bride she man come forth , Tho' a the gear she has , It is but little worth ; A Briddle it shall be , Se spear at Jean her Mither , Content am I , quoth she , Fy gar the Lass come hither ; The Bride lap in to the Bed , Ann the Bridgroom ged till her The Fidler crap in to the mids Ann they H — dled altogether .
