| RUPERT. | |||
| Hoity-toity, what's a kiss? | |||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| 'Tis nae vera shockin'! | |||
| RUPERT. | |||
| Do not take the thing amiss! | |||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| Lass, there's nae ane leukin'! | |||
| DORCAS. | |||
| Hoity-toity, what's a kiss? | |||
| Kissing goes by favour! | |||
| RUPERT. | |||
| And when the kiss Is a stolen bliss — |
|||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| The sweeter is the savour! | |||
| DORCAS. | |||
| Upon my word, I never heard |
|||
| A statement more surprising! | |||
| Aren't ye afraid Of with a maid |
|||
| Your conscience compromising? | |||
ENSEMBLE.
| DORCAS | RUPERT and The McCRANKIE. | ||||
| Upon a light And starry night, |
Upon a light And starry night, |
||||
| Ye would consult the latter; | We might consult the latter; | ||||
| But when the maid Is in the shade |
But when the maid Is in the shade, |
||||
| It's quite another matter. | It's quite another matter. | ||||
| RUPERT. | |||
| Hoity-toity, who's afraid? | |||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| When there's nae ane leukin'! | |||
| RUPERT. | |||
| I could ne'er resist a maid — | |||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| When she shows her stockin'! | |||
| DORCAS. | |||
| Hoity-toity, man, be mum! | |||
| Hast thou had a glassie? | |||
| RUPERT. | |||
| My friend hath come From the Isle of Rum — |
|||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| An' thou'rt a braw, wee lassie! | |||
| DORCAS. | |||
| Behave thyself, Thou Highland elf, |
|||
| Thy conduct is past bearing; | |||
| I thought ye both Had taken oath, |
|||
| Frivolity foreswearing. | |||
| DORCAS, RUPERT and The McCRANKIE. | |||
| Like every man, A Puritan |
|||
| Admires a waist that's taper, | |||
| And on the sly Will wink his eye |
|||
| And cut his little caper! | |||
| RUPERT. | |||
| Hoity-toity, what's an oath? | |||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| Eyes were made for hookin'. | |||
| RUPERT. | |||
| We are very human, both — | |||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| When there's nae ane leukin'! | |||
| DORCAS. | |||
| Hoity-toity, things have come | |||
| To a pretty passie! | |||
| RUPERT. | |||
| The Isle of Rum Is a trifle glum — |
|||
| McCRANKIE. | |||
| An' thou'rt a bonny lassie! | |||
| DORCAS. | |||
| Thou horrid thing! Thou Highland fling! |
|||
| I'm sure thou'st had a glassie! | |||
| I won't by you — (box) Or any two — (box) |
|||
| Be called a bonny lassie! | |||
ENSEMBLE.
| DORCAS | RUPERT and The McCRANKIE. | ||||
| Oh, hist and whist, Now, do desist, |
Oh, hist and whist! Now, don't resist! |
||||
| Or I'll create a clatter! | Why make so great a clatter? | ||||
| Do set me free, And let me be, |
There's none to see, So what the d——, |
||||
| And cease your silly chatter. | The De'il doth it matter? | ||||
Thunder. Exeunt RUPERT and The McCRANKIE.
