SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1872.
But the Whiskey's sae guid that I doubt- she maun wait a wee.
Of Patience my lassie has got a great share
Happy he's wedded to whae there's economy,
Call in the Waiter "We'll hae a Drap mair"-
Sae come noble waiter bring's in a big Noggin
I mean a full pint of your best "Innishowen"
And when that is done I intend to be joggin
Wi the canniest- of care We'll gang merrily hame-
Here's "God Bless us a'" and I hope that's nae treason
The Whiskey begins for to speak in my ear,
Guid nicht- and safe hame until some ither season,
We'll a' meet in friendship and hae a Drap Mair.
"A decidedly good Scotch Drinking Song
although all the allusions seem to point
to Ireland - Was he an Exile, or an Emigrant-?
Author Unknown -
"The Baby Died"
They came together to see me
The Old woman Said and sighed
"One was tall the other was small
I think the little one died"-
She had a trick of sighing
And she heeded not- what she said
But Oh! how could she say to me
"Is the little one dead"?
