ll our Fears; In hopes this Declaration moves, Some Pity to our Tears: Let's hear of no Inconstancy, We have too much of that at Sea, _With a Fa, la, la, la, la._ _Bonny_ KATHERN LOGGY. _A_ Scotch SONG. [Music] As I came down the hey Land Town, There was Lasses many, Sat in a Rank, on either Bank, And ene more gay than any; Ise leekt about for ene kind Face, And Ise spy'd _Willy Scroggy_; Ise spir'd of him what was her Name, And he caw'd her _Kathern Loggy_. A sprightly bonny Gurl sha was, And made my Heart to rise _Joe_; Sha was so fair sa blith a Lass, And Love was in her Eyes so: Ise walkt about like ene possest, And quite forgot poor _Moggy_; For nothing now could give me rest, But bonny _Kathern Loggy_. My pratty _Katy_ then quoth I, And many a Sigh I gave her; Let not a Leard for _Katy_ die, But take him to great Favour: Sha laught aloud, and sa did aw, And bad me hemward to ge; And still cry'd out awaw, awaw, Fro bonny _Kathern Loggy_. A Fardel farther I would see, And some began to muse me; The Lasses they sat wittally, And the Lads began to Rooze me: The Blades with Beaus came down she knows, Like ring Rooks fro _Strecy Boggy_; And four and twanty _Highland_ Lads, Were following _Kathern Loggy_.

At first indeed I needs must tell, Ise could not well believe it; But when Ise saw how fow they fell, Ise could not but conceive it. There was ne'er a Lad of any note, Or any deaf young Roguey; But he did lift the welly Coat, Of bonny _Kathern Loggy_. Had I kenn'd on Kittleness, As I came o'er the Moore _Joe_; Ise had n'er ban as Ise ha dun, Nor e'er out-stankt my seln so: For I was then so stankt with stint, I spurr'd my aw'd Nagg _Fogey_; And had I kenn'd sha had been a Whore, I had ne'er Lov'd _Kathern Loggy_. (_The_ Catholick _Brother_) _A_ SONG. [Music] Dear _Catholick_ brother are you come from the Wars, So lame of your foots and your Face full of Scars; To see your poor _Shela_ who with great grief was f
