Like Jews they spread and as infection fly,

As if the devil had ubiquity;

Hence ’tis they live as rovers, and defy

This or that place, rags of geography;

They’re citizens o’ th’ world, they’re all in all;

Scotland’s a nation epidemical.

And yet they ramble not to learn the mode

How to be drest, or how to lisp abroad....

No, the Scots errant fight, and fight to eat;

Their ostrich-stomachs make their swords their meat;
