Spanish galleons, dauncin bears,
Streets wi a thoosan different guffs,
Lark for denner, or potted hares.
Walter Raleigh an Francis Drake
Braved the tide fur the English Queen.
The croon sat ill on her royal heid,
Till her cousin Mary's sheen war teem.
Mary played in the Dauphin's coort,
Bonnie an jimp, an blythe an braw,
An thocht that life should be luv and sport,
Till the heidsman sneckit her life awa.
