Here, here it was (a wae light on the place!)
'At first I got a gliff o' Betty's feace:

Skilfu' the gushen bluid wi' cockwebs staid;
Then on the sair a healen plaister laid;

The arr indeed remains, but neathing mair.

My grandy could not cure a bleedin heart.
I've bworn the bitter torment three lang year,
And aw' my life-time mun be fworc'd to bear,
Less Betty will a kind physician pruive;
For nin but she has skill to medcin luive.
