The Poetical Works of Robert Burns/To — (3)
ΤΟ ———
Friday first's the day appointedBy the Right Worshipful anointed,To hold our grand procession;To get a blad o' Johnie's morals,And taste a swatch o' Manson's barrelsI' the way of our profession.The Master and the BrotherhoodWould a' be glad to see you;For me I would be mair than proudTo share the mercies wi' you.If Death, then, wi' skaith, then,Some mortal heart is hechtin',Inform him, and storm him,That Saturday you'll fecht him.Robert Burns.Mossgiel, An. M. 5790.
