is braw cithing!
o wives, be mindfu' ance yoursel'
how bonie ds ye wanted;
an' dinna for a kebbuck-heel
let sses be affronted
on sic a day!
now kumbell, wi' rattlin tow,
begins to jow an' ;
some swagger hame the best they dow,
some wait the afternoon.
at sps the billies halt a blink,
till sses strip their shoon:
wi' faith an' hope, an' love an' drink,
they're a' in famous tune
for crack that day.
how mos this day verts
o' sinners and o' sses!
their hearts o' stane, g
