Classic Poem

Chorus

Bonie wee thing, canie wee thing,
Lovely wee thing, was thou mine;
I wad wear thee in my bosom,
Least my Jewel I should tine. —

Wishfully I look and languish
In that bonie face o' thine;
And my heart it stounds wi' anguish,
Least my wee thing be na mine. —
Bonie wee &c.

The bonny wee thing. Subscription in MS Note the first part of the music is repeated, for the Chorus —

Wit, and Grace, and Love, and Beauty,
In ae constellation shine;
To adore thee is my duty,
Goddess o' this soul o' mine!
