Rambling Boy- (Glasgow) chapbook, 1790

[From the chapbook held at National Library of Scotland; The Glasgow tragedy: or, Cries of Woodside: To which is added, The tradesmen's praise, and The rambling boy. Published  [Glasgow?] : Entered according to order [1790?] The rambling boy ; 11 4-line verses; 8 p.: ill.; 17 cm. (12mo).

The only verse I've recovered is the first. The second line is very corrupt.

The Rambling Boy

I am a rake, and a rambling boy,
My dwelling-place I dare not come nigh;
A rambling boy altho' I be,
I'll forsake them all, love, and go with thee.
