L——, hear my earnest supplication
Against that cause o’ my vexation,
The House o’ Lords—bane o’ the nation—
Curse on their heeds;
L——, visit them wi’ swift damnation
For their misdeeds.
O! L—— my G——, that glib-tongued Cowen,
Wi’ gall and bitterness o’erflowin’,
And a’ the ruck sae forward growin’
Still mair an’ mair;
