39;s banners;
heroes and heroines ix,
all in the field of politics,
to win immortal honours.
m'murdo and his lovely spouse,
(th' enamour'd urels kiss her brows!)
led on the loves and graces:
she won each gaping burgess' heart,
while he, sub rosa, pyed his part
amang their wives and sses.
craigdarroch led a light-arm'd core,
tropes, metaphors, and figures pour,
like hec streaming thunder:
glenriddel, skill'd in rusty s,
blew up each tory's dark designs,
and bared the treason under.
iher wing two champions fou
