Afton's Laird! Afton's Laird!
When your pen can be spared,
A copy of this I bequeath,
On the same sicker score
As I mention'd before,
To that trusty auld worthy, Clackleith—
Afton's Laird!
To that trusty auld worthy, Clackleith.

Factor John! Factor John!
Whom the Lord made alone,

And ne'er made another thy peer,
Thy poor servant, the Bard,
In respectful regard
He presents thee this token sincere—
Factor John!
He presents thee this token sincere.
