the belles of mauchline

　　in mauchline there dwells six proper young belles,

　　the pride of the place and its neighbourhood a';

　　their carriage and dress, a stranger would guess,

　　in lon'on or paris, they'd gotten it a'.

　　miss miller is fine, miss markland's divine,

　　miss smith she has wit, and miss betty is braw:

　　there's beauty and fortune to get wi' miss morton,

　　but armour's the jewel for me o' them a'.
