An Thou Were My Ain Thing

An thou were my ain Thing,
I would love thee, I would love thee,
An thou were my ain Thing,
How dearly would I love thee.

I would clutch thee in my Arms,
I'd secure thee from all Harms,
For above mortals thou hast charms,
Sae dearly do I love thee.

An thou were my ain Thing,
I would love thee, I would love thee,
An thou were my ain Thing,
How dearly would I love thee.

Of Race divine thou needs must be,
Since nothing earthly equals thee,
By Heavn's I beg you'll favour me,
For dearly do I love thee.

My Passion, stronger than the Sun,
Flames stronger still, will ne'er have done
Till fates my thread of Life have spun,
Which breathing out, I'll love thee.

An thou were my ain Thing,
I would love thee, I would love thee,
An thou were my ain Thing,
Sae dearly would I love thee.
