AULD LANG SYNE. SHOULD auld acquaintance be forgot, For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne. We twa hae run about the braes, But we've wandered mony a weary foot Sin' auld lang syne. We twa hae paidl't in the burn From morning sun till dine; But seas between us braid hae roared Sin' auld lang syne. And here's a hand, my trusty fier, And gie's a hand o' thine; And we'll tak a right good willie waught, For auld lang syne. And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup, And surely I'll be mine; And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne. TEMPUS ACTUM. PRISCORUM immemores esse sodalium, Acti, care comes, temporis ob dies, Flores in calathis nos amaranthinos Quin solem ad medium margine fontium Atqui inter fremuit nos mare fluctuum Amplexum, comes o fide, morabimur Depromptæ quis erit jam modus amphoræ Acti temporis ob dies? Potantes cyathi lege videbimus Uter Threiciam siccet amystidem : Plenum fundite, Io, fundite Cæcubum Acti temporis ob dies! When by that holie Boke I see thee sweare, Thinketh mine hearte, Oh what an ever blessed Page thou art! Marrie, give me that kisse, The drie regardlesse Prynte wotteth not what it is. SUCKLING. Acti, care comes, temporis ob dies, Acti temporis ob dies. H. D. SEX QUATER SARTORES. SEX quater exibant sartores impete magno, F. H. BASIUM. CUM labra imponens sacrum premis ore libellum, H. H. BILLY TAILOR. BILLY TAILOR was a brisk young fellow, And his heart he did discover To a maiden fair and free. Four and twenty press gang fellows, But his true love followed a'ter By the name of Robert Carr, Her lily-white hands were daubed all over And in the very first engagement, Manfully she fought among the rest; Till a bullet blew her jacket open, And discovered her snow-white breast: Which when the Captain saw- What squall, pray, Hath blown you hither, Ma'am?—says he. Sir, I seeks my Billy Tailor, Whom you pressed and sent to sea.' |
