N. B. IN N. B.
If you'd make them feel "Big Pots,"
Then by all means call them "Scots."
If you'd make their tempers hottish,
You may coolly call them "Scottish."
But, if wise, be on the watch
That you never call them Scotch!
True it is that Bobby Burns
Uses all these terms in turns.
(Such, at least, appears the boast
Of the northern Yorkshire Post.)
But if you essay the three
You'll soon find you're not—R. B.
