mally's meek, mally's sweet

  chorus—mally's meek, mally's sweet,

  mally's modest and discreet;

  mally's rare, mally's fair,

  mally's every wayplete.

  as i was walking up the street,

  a barefit maid i chanc'd to meet;

  but o the road was very hard

  for that fair maiden's tender feet.

  mally's meek, &c.

  it were mair meet that those fine feet

  were weel laced up in silken shoon;

  an' 'twere more fit that she should sit

  within yon chariot gilt aboon,

  mally's meek, &c.

  her yellow hair, beyondpare,

   es trinklin down her swan-like neck,

  and her two eyes, like stars in skies,

  would keep a sinking ship frae wreck,

  mally's meek, &c.
