[ of Paisley.]

, brawny John Barleycorn, len' me your aid,

Though for such inspiration aft dearly I've paid,

Come cram up my noddle, and help me to show,

In true graphic colours, the mighty Munro.

O! could ye but hear him his stories rehearse,

Whilk the like was ne'er heard o', in prose or in verse,

Ye wad laugh till the sweat doon your haffets did flow,

At the matchless, magnificent, mighty Munro.
