but shortly they will cowe the louns!
some auld-light herds in neebor touns
are mind't, in things they ca' balloons,
to tak a flight;
an' stay ae month amang the moons
an' see them right.
guid observation they will gie them;
an' when the auld moon's gaun to lea'e them,
the hindmaist shaird, they'll fetch it wi' them
just i' their pouch;
an' when the new-light billies see them,

is naething but a “moonshine matter”;
but tho' dull prose-folk latin splatter
in logic tulyie,
i hope we bardies ken some better
than mind sic brulyie. ↑返回顶部↑
