The Kirk Of Scotlands Alarm
or the lord's holy ark,
he has cooper'd an' ca'd a in in't,
jamie goose! he has cooper'd an' ca'd a in in't.
davie bluster! davie bluster, for a saint ye do muster,
the corps is no nice o' recruits;
yet to worth let's be just, royal blood ye might boast,
if the ass were the king o' the brutes,
davie bluster! if the ass were the king o' the brutes.
irvine side! irvine side, wi' your turkey-cock pride
of manhood but sma' is your share:
ye've the figure, 'tis true, ev'n your foes will allow,
