e wales a portion with judicious care;
and “let us worship god!” he says with solemn air.
they t their artless notes in simple guise,
they tuheir hearts, by far the aim;
perhaps dundee's wild-warbling measures rise;

the tickl'd ears -felt raptures raise;
nae unisohey with our creator's praise.

how abram was the friend of god on high;
