"Warlock o' Glenwarlock"
George MacDonald
In's pouch he had a Plack or twa, I vow he hadna mony; Yet Andrew like a lintie sang, For Lizzie was sae bonny!
"Alec Forbes of Howglen"
George MacDonald
I had nae a Plack in my pouch That night I was a bride; My gown was linsey-woolsey, And ne'er a sark ava; And ye hae ribbons and buskins, Mae than ane or twa.
