Usage in poetry
I like ye weel upo Sundays, Nannie,
I' yer goon and yer ribbons and a';
But I like ye better on Mondays, Nannie,
Whan ye're no sae buskit and braw.

Lokt de goon;--
Waar een hart het uit moet zingen,
Daalt het ongebeden loon,
Neigt de naaste van de hemelingen
Zich tot haar bestemde woon.

Were boukie aneuch, wi' what nature had gi'en.
A drap parritch an' milk, wi' tatties an' saut—
Wi' that the puir weaver ne'er faund muckle faut,
A coarse cutty coat, wi' a short-goon an' brat,
Was a' the wife's cleedin', an' thankfu' for that.
But, losh me! even as I speak, my anger's quaten'd doon,
An' so I kiss the rosy mou' that peeps oot frae my goon;
Straik an' clap the curly heid, an' a' to fairly prove
That the anger o' a mither 's just anither name for love.
