But what’s the odds if he mistake,
We’re pledged to him for a’ that.
Ye see yon members, Liberals ca’ed,
They fume and fret and a’ that,
When asked to vote they hummed and ha’ed,
They’ve a just cause for a’ that.
For a’ that and a’ that,
They’re honest perhaps for a’ that;
But whoso hangs by Gladstone’s tail
He scoffs at them for a’ that.
