Of Fishwives, tee, that's i' wor toon, up to the present day, Euphy Scott she is prime minister to Queen Madgie Gray: The understrappers and descendants hear it's ony fit, That's she's rul'd the market as she lik'd, an' sae will she yet.
they've a' gyen deed: But, marrows, keep ye up your hearts, this is not the time to fret, For their memories ha' e'er been up, aye an' sae will they yet.
