We’ll mak’ short wark wi’ this heretic son
O’ Scotia an’ Knox i’ the mornin’.”
A line through Manning the douce auld Pop’
To Johnnie did in answer drop;
“Thae questions ye’d speer we canna stop
To re-open the noo of a mornin’.
“There’s nane can doot or deny that we
Are the Lord-Lieutenant o’ Christendie.
D’ye spy ony green in our Paternal ee?
Get hoot wi’ your chaff of a mornin’!
