And follows her Sweet-heart his Snapsack to bear.

       My finnikin Cavalilly man
       For God's cause and the Protestants
       I prithee le me gang with thee man.

Which cost my Mother many a Crowne,

My smock and all ere thou shalt lack,
For either Money, Beer or sack,

All of the stanzas in Shule Agra can be found variously on 18th century English and Scottish broadsides, and properly should be considered commonplaces.
