Hi, Derek. It is quite possible that the last line does indeed start with "Sae". I learned my version of it from an old print that hung in my grandmother's and my parents' houses forever, and I suppose the artist that designed it might have gotten it wrong! Anyway, it's been in my family for as long as I can remember. I believe it's called the Selkirk Blessing or Grace. "Lang may your lummie reek!" (I believe I got that one right!)
