Էջ 9 - The night drave on wi' sangs and clatter, And ay the ale was growing better ; The landlady and Tam grew gracious, Wi' favors secret, sweet and precious; The souter tauld his queerest stories: The landlord's laugh was ready chorus ; The storm without might rair and rustle, Tam did na mind the storm a whistle.
