_There's just a waukrif' twa or three:
Thrawn commentautors sweer to 'gree,_
[Illustration]
_Weans glowrin' at the bumlin' bee
On windie-glasses,
Or lads that tak a keek a-glee
At sonsie lasses._
[Illustration]
_Himsel', meanwhile, frae whaur he cocks
An' bobs belaw the soundin'-box,
The treesures of his words unlocks
Wi' prodigality,
An' deals some unco dingin' knocks
To infidality._
[Illustration]
_Wi' sappy unction, hoo he burkes
The hopes o' men that trust in works,
Expounds the fau'ts o' ither kirks,
An' shaws the best o' them
No muckle better than mere Turks,
When a's confessed o' them._
_Bethankit! what a bonny creed!
What mair would ony Christian need?_--
[Illustration]
_The braw words rumm'le ower his heid,
Nor steer the sleeper;_
[Illustration]
_And in their restin' graves, the deid
Sleep aye the deeper._
