Poet Analysis

First Line: WEE WILLIE GRAY, AND HIS LEATHER WALLET
Last Line: FEATHERS OF A FLEE WAD FEATHER UP HIS BONNET.

Wee Willie Gray, and his leather wallet,
Peel a willow wand to be him boots and jacket;
The rose upon the breir will be him trews an' doublet,
The rose upon the breir will be him trews an' doublet,
Wee Willie Gray, and his leather wallet,
Twice a lily-flower will be him sark and cravat;
Feathers of a flee wad feather up his bonnet,
Feathers of a flee wad feather up his bonnet.
