Am five feet four inches high;

A black-a-vic'd, snod, dapper fallow,

Nor lean, nor overlaid wi' tallow;

Wi' phiz of a Morocco cut,

Resembling a late man of wit,

Auld gabbet Spec, wha was sae cunning,

To be a dummie ten years running.

Then for the fabric of my mind,

'Tis mair to mirth than grief inclin'd:

I rather choose to laugh at folly,
