God bless you a'! consider now
Ye're unco muckle dautit;
But ere the course of life be through,
It may be better sautit:
And I hae seen their coggie fou,
That yet hae tarrow't at it;
But or the day was done, I trow,
The laggen they hae clautit
Fa' clean that day.

THE ORDINATION.
For sense, they little owe to frugal Heav'n. . .
To please the Mob, they hide the little giv'n.
To please the Mob, they hide the little giv'n.
K——— Wabsters, fidge and claw,
And pour your creeshie nations;
And ye wha leather rax and draw,
Of a' denominations;
Swith to the Laigh Kirk, ate and a',
And there take up your stations;
Then aff to B— b—s in a raw,
And pour divine libations
For joy that day.

For joy that day.
