THE HAGGIS

TO MRS. M——, TO WHOM WE WERE INDEBTED FOR A HAGGIS, WHOSE AMPLITUDE WAS IN SOMEWISE COMMENSURATE WITH THE LARGENESS OF HER HEART
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the pudding race!

A Haggis; a Haggis,
An honest Scottish Haggis!
Let Frenchmen make a loud to-do
About the length o' their menu—
New-fangled fricassee, ragout,
And sic like dishes—
Auld Scotia's simple brag is
Her ancient Haggis!
