THE
HUE & CRY.
A
DIALOGUE,
BETWEEN
Twa Kintra Bell-men.
Some Books are lies frae end to end,An' some great lies were never penn'd;E’en Ministers they hae been kend.In holy rapture,A rousin’ whid, at times, to vend, An nail't wi' Scripture.
But this that I am gain to tell,Which lately on a night befel.It's just as true's the De'il's in H—ll,Or Dublin-city:That e'er he nearer comes oursel’’S a muckle pity.Burns.
BY POET LAURIAT.
