W:2.Then fareweel to my father's house;
W:    I gang where love invites me;
W:  The strictest duty this allows,
W:    When love with honour meets me.
W:  When Hymen moulds us into ane,
W:  My Robie's nearer than my kin,
W:  And to refuse him were a sin,
W:    Sae lang's he kindly treats me.

W:3.When I am in mine ain house,
W:    True love shall be at hand ay,
W:  To mak me still a prudent spouse,
W:    And let my man command ay;
W:  Avoiding ilka cause of strife,
W:  The common pest of married life,
W:  That makes ane weary of his wife.
W:    And breaks the kindly band ay.

K:
W:    O this is no mine ain lassie.
W:      Fair though the lassie be;
W:    O weel ken I my ain lassie,
W:      Kind love is in her ee.
W:
W:1.I see a form, I see a face,
W:  Ye weel may wi' the fairest place:
W:  It wants, to me, the witching grace,
W:    The kind love that's in her ee.
W:        O this is no, &c.

W:2.She's bonny, blooming, straight, and tali,
W:    And lang has had my heart in thrall;
W:  And ay it charms my very saul,
W:    The kind love that's in her ee.
W:        O this is no, &c.
W:
W:3.A thief sae pawkie is my Jean,
W:    To steal a blink, by a' unseen;
W:  But gleg as light are lovers' een,
W:    When kind love is in the ee.
W:        O this is no, &c.
W:
W:4.It may escape the courtly sparks,
W:    It may escape the learned clarks;
W:  But weel the watching lover marks
W:    The kind love that's in the ee.
W:        O this is no, &c.
