Spoken to three young Ladies, who would have me to determine which of them was the bonniest.
Me anes three Beauties did surround,And ilka Beauty gave a Wound,
Whilst they with smiling Eye,
Said, Allan, which think ye maist fair?
Gi'e Judgment frankly, never spare.
Hard is the Task said I:
But added, seeing them sae free,
Ladies ye maun say mair to me,
And my Demand right fair is;
First, like the gay Celestial Three,
Shaw a' your Charms, and then ha'e wi' ye,
Faith I shall be your Paris.
