...me thy ways to me, my Eppie Macnab;
O come thy ways to me, my Eppie Macnab;
Whate’er thou hast dune, be it late, be it sune,
Thou’s welcome again to thy ain Jock Rab.
What says she, my dearie, my Eppie Macnab?

And that their foes shall ken.
They’ll live or die wi’ fame, Willie;

Except the moment that they crush’d him;
For sune as chance or fate had hush’d ’em

Yet that was never Robin’s mark

But tell him, he was learn’d and clark,
Ye roos’d him then!
