Heron Election Ballad, No. IV.
d,
fine for a soger, a' the wale o' lead.
buy braw troggin, &c.
here's a little wadset, buittle's scrap o' truth,
pawn'd in a gin-shop, queng holy drouth.
buy braw troggin, &c.
here's an ho sce might a prince adorn;
frae the downs o' tinwald, so was never worn.
buy braw troggin, &c.
here's armorial bearings frae the manse o' urr;
the crest, a sour crab-apple, rotten at the core.
buy braw troggin, &c.
here's the worth and wisdom collieston boast;
by a thievish midge they had been nearly lost.
