Of days of auld lang syne.

*  *  *  *  *

For friend of auld lang syne, dear ma’am,

Was never friend of mine—

Depend on me, no enemy

Like friend of auld lang syne!

The ancient fair with youthful air

Who’d pass for twenty-nine,

Finds no such bore, when past twa score,

As friend of auld lang syne.
