Girt auld hen 'at wants to be cock o' t' midden."
A midden is a garbage dump - so I think this is entirely less flattering than Ed suggests in his translation.
I would translate it to modern English as:
Poor old Darling, wants to be King of the dump.
Of course there is probably a much simper and sweeter Latin translation?
