A' things Scots, but the wages, whilk should be
Punds sterlin', and no punds Scot.
"Say there's a keeper o' the swans
Whose office ocht to cease,
Or Scotland behoves a keeper too,
To keep her Solan geese.
"There's the maister o' the music,
That the music maks ava',
For his thousand puns' a year
I trow he were best awa'.
