Motherwell's Note-Book, p. 1, recited by Miss Brown, of
Glasgow, after a blind aunt.

‘I learned it in my father's bower,
And I learned it for the better,
That every water I coudna wade,
I swam it like an otter.
With my low silver ee.

‘I learned it in my father's bower,
And I learned it for my weel,
That every water I coudna wade,
I swam it like an eel.’

And he cam hirpling on a stick,
And leaning on a tree:
‘Be he cripple, or be he blind,
The same man is he.’
