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 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 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 4 頁 - Behave yoursel' before folk ! Behave yoursel' before folk ! Whate'er you do when out o' view, Be cautious aye before folk. Consider, lad , how folk will crack, And what a great affair they'll mak' O' naething but a simple smack That's gien or taen before folk. Behave yoursel' before folk ! Behave yoursel' before folk ! Nor gie the tongue o' auld or young Occasion to come o'er folk.
第 5 頁 - 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. 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 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 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 xxviii 頁 - His third publication was, 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.
第 8 頁 - An' syne she'll pe fish-cod, man, Ta place tey'll call Newfoundhims-land, Pe far peyont ta proad, man. But, och-hon-ee ! one misty night, Nainsel will lost her way, man, Her poat was trown'd, hersel' got fright, She'll mind till dying day, man. So fait ! she'll pe fish-cod no more, But back to Morven cam', man, An...
第 161 頁 - I'll marry in my prime, An' mak a wife most thrifty.' Wow ! Robin was an angry man, At tyning o' his dochter : Thro' a' the kintra-side he ran, An' far an' near he socht her ; But when he cam to our fire-end, An' fand us baith thegither, Quo' I, ' Gudeman, I've ta'en your bairn, An
