第 3 頁 - BEHAVE YOURSEL' BEFORE FOLK Behave yoursel' before folk ! Behave yoursel' before folk ! And dinna be sae rude to me As kiss me sae before folk ! It wadna gie me meikle pain, Gin we were seen and heard by nane, To tak' a kiss, or grant you ane ; But gudesake ! no before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk ! Behave yoursel' before folk ! Whate'er you do when out o' view, Be cautious aye before folk.
第 160 頁 - MY mither men't my auld breeks, An' wow ! but they were duddy, And sent me to get Mally shod At Robin Tamson's smiddy ; The smiddy stands beside the burn That wimples through the clachan I never yet gae by the door, But aye I fa
第 161 頁 - I've new anes for the makin'; But gin ye'll just come hame wi' me, An' lea' the carle, your father, Ye'se get my breeks to keep in trim, Mysel', an' a' thegither." " 'Deed, lad," quo' she, "your offer's fair, I really think I'll tak' it, Sae, gang awa', get out the mare, We'll baith slip on the back o't; For gin I wait my father's time, I'll wait till I be fifty; But na; — I'll marry in my prime, An' mak
第 4 頁 - As ye ha'e done before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk, Behave yoursel' before folk ; Nor heat my cheeks wi' your mad freaks, But aye be douce before folk. Ye tell me that my lips are sweet, Sic tales, I doubt, are a' deceit ; At ony rate, it's hardly meet To pree their sweets before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk, Behave yoursel' before folk ; Gin that's the case, there's time and place, But surely no before folk.
第 xxix 頁 - ... the farmer and his men pursue their summer toil, whether under the Stars and Stripes or under the Union Jack — the thought and sympathy of men are directed to Robert Burns. I have sometimes asked myself, if a rollcall of fame were read over at the beginning of every century, how many men of eminence would answer a second time to their names. But of our poet there is no doubt or question. The adsum of Burns rings out clear and unchallenged.
第 5 頁 - To pree their sweets before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk, Behave yoursel' before folk ; Gin that's the case, there's time and place, But surely no before folk. But, gin you really do insist That I should suffer to be kiss'd, Gae, get a license frae the priest, • And mak' me yours before folk. Behave yoursel...
第 xxxi 頁 - Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them, Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said — On wings they are carried — After the singer is dead And the maker buried." We may not grumble, nor feel disappointed sorely, although our author did not excel in a sustained effort like "Peter Cornclips," Long poems at the best appeal but to the few.
第 2 頁 - An' aye she e'ed my auld breeks, The time that we sat crackin', Quo' I, my lass, ne'er mind the clouts, I've new anes for the makin' ; But gin ye'll just come hame wi' me, An' lea' the carle, your father, Ye'se get my breeks to keep in trim, Mysel' an' a
第 1 頁 - ... The smiddy stands beside the burn That wimples through the clachan, I never yet gae by the door, But aye I fa' a-lauchin'. For Robin was a walthy carle, An' bad ae bonnie dochter, Yet ne'er wad let her tak...
第 xxviii 頁 - Stray Leaves from the Portfolios of Alisander the seer, Andrew Whaup, and Humphrey Henkeckle — these being the assumed names under which the most of the pieces — chiefly satirical — had been previously published in various periodicals. This, issued by Charles Rattray in 1842, was the last complete work of which Rodger had the sole authorship.
