An’ (what’s aft mair than a’ the lave)

Your better art o’ hiding.

Think, when your castigated pulse

Gi’es now an’ then a wallop,

What ragings must his veins convulse,

That still eternal gallop.

Wi’ wind an’ tide fair i’ your tail,

Right on ye scud your sea-way;

But in the teeth o’ baith to sail,
