YE Brittons aw, Who are moulding the Law, For your use as occasion is fitting; What a Deel did you gain, By late muckle pain, When our Peers were outvoted from Sitting: Woons, dant we know, That a few Years ago, Ere ye twin'd the Rose with the Thistle; Yead a gin any Flower, That ye had in your pow'r, Tho' we now are scarce worth a Whistle.

Gud feth we see, Like a Lass that too free, Has bin bob'd of her Maidenly treasure; That instead of regard, For a bargain so hard, You think you may Slight us at pleasure: But woons, take heed, Say our Loons near the Tweed, For if no brave Calledonian; Made a Lord by the Queen, Mayn't do like the Sixteen, Deel awa with the rest of the Un.
