Answer. 



Nocht shall be wanting on my part, 

 To gather wealth to raise ray shepherd's heart : 

 Whate'er he wins, I'll guide wi' canny care. 



***** 

 Then I '11 employ wi' pleasure a' my art 

 To keep him cheerfu' and secure his heart. 

 At e'en, when he comes weary frae the hill, 

 I '11 ha'e a' things made ready to his will : 

 In winter, when he toils through wind an' rain, 

 A bleezing ingle, an' a clean hearth stane ; 

 And soon as he flings by his plaid an' staff, 

 The seething pats be ready to tak afF; 

 Clean hag-a-bag I'll spread upon his board, 

 An' serve him with the best we can afford : 

 Good humour an' white bigonets shall be 

 Guards to my face, to keep his love for me. Ramsay.
