lum,
and calvin's folk, are fit to fell him;
ilk self-ceited critic skellum
his quill may draw;
he wha could brawlie ward their bellum—
willie's awa!
up wimpling stately tweed i've sped,
and eden ses on crystal jed,
arick banks, now r red,
while tempests bw;
but every joy and pleasure's fled,
willie's awa!
may i be snder's on speech;
a text for infamy to preach;
and stly, streekit out to bleach
in winter snaw;
when i fet thee, willie creech,
tho' far awa!
may never wicked fortuouzle him!
