At times I’m fash’d wi’ fleshly lust,

An’ sometimes, too, wi’ warldly trust—

Vile self gets in;

But thou remembers we are dust,

Defil’d in sin.

O L—d! yestreen, thou kens, wi’ Meg—

Thy pardon I sincerely beg,

O! may it ne’er be a livin’ plague

To my dishonor,

An’ I’ll ne’er lift a lawless leg
