; balloons,
to tak a flight;
an' stay ae month amang the moons
an' see them right.
guid observation they will gie them;
an' when the auld moon's gaun to lea'e them,
the hindmaist shaird, they'll fetch it wi' them
just i' their pouch;
an' when the new-light billies see them,
i think they'll crouch!
sae, ye observe that a' this ctter
is hing but a “moonshiter”;
but tho' dull prose-folk tin sptter
in logic tulyie,
i hope we bardies ken some better
than mind sic brulyie.
