Second Epistle To J. Lapraik
she 's gien me mony a jirt an' fleg,
sin' i could striddle owre a rig;
but, by the lord, tho' i should beg
wi' lyart pow,
i'll ugh an' sing, an' shake my leg,
as ng's i dow!
now es the sax-an'-tweh simmer
i've seen the bud upoimmer,
still persecuted by the limmer
frae year to year;
but yet, despite the kittle kimmer,
i, rob, am here.
do ye envy the city gent,
behint a kist to lie an' sklent;
or pursue-proud, big wi' t. per t.
an' muckle wame,
in some bit brugh to repres
