O, once I lov'd a bonnie lass,                   #58
                                 Aye, and I love her still;
                            And whilst that virtue warms my breast
                                 I'll love my handsome Nell.

                            As bonnie lasses I hae seen,
                                 And mony full as braw,
                            But for a modest gracefu' mien
                                 The like I never saw.

                            A bonnie lass, I will confess,
                                 Is pleasant to the ee,
                            But without some letter qualities
                                 She's no a lass for me.
