Recitativo

A pigmy scraper wi’ his fiddle,

Wha us’d at trystes an’ fairs to driddle.

Her strappin limb and gausy middle

(He reach’d nae higher)

Had hol’d his heartie like a riddle,

An’ blawn’t on fire.

Wi’ hand on hainch, and upward e’e,

He croon’d his gamut, one, two, three,

Then in an arioso key,

The wee Apoll

Set off wi’ allegretto glee

His giga solo.
