ROBERT BURNS's "Dumfries Volunteers."
Shade of BURNS, loquitur:—
O, rantin' roarin' JOHNNY BURNS,
My namesake—in a fashion,
You do my Scots the warst o' turns
Sae stirrin' up their passion.
Whence come ye, JOHNNY? Frae the Docks?
Or frae the County Council?
Sure Scots can do their ain hard knocks;
We take your brag and bounce ill!
