5 “Some fell on the staney bits, whaur the yird was jimp; and it brairdit bonnie, for the mool was thin.
“And he on the staney bit sawn, is he wha hears the word, and blythely receives it;
“And in his sawin, a neiffuʼ was mis‐cuisten on the fit‐path, and eaten up wiʼ the birdies.
“And whan the sun raise heigh, it birslʼt up; and, for that it had nae rute, it dwined awa.
“And thir are they as weel, that are sawn on the rocky bits; wha, whan they hear the Word, tak it to them wiʼ joy,
“And some fell on rocky bits, whaur it faund little mool; and at ance it brairdit, for that the mool was jimp.
