The silly horrors o’ oor fates.

Fier—comme un Ecossais!

There’s muckle in the root

That never can wun oot,

Or’t owre what is ’ud sweep

Like a thunderstorm owre sheep.

But shadows whiles upcreep,

And heavy tremors leap ...

C’wa’, Daith, again, sned Life’s vain shoot,

And your ain coonsel keep!...
