The big ha'-bible, ance his father's pride: family-Bible

His bonnet rev'rently is laid aside,

His lyart haffets wearing thin an' bare; gray hair on temples

Those strains that once did sweet in Zion glide—

He wales a portion with judicious care, chooses

And ‘Let us worship God!’ he says with solemn air.

They chant their artless notes in simple guise;

They tune their hearts, by far the noblest aim;

Perhaps Dundee's wild warbling measures rise,

Or plaintive Martyrs, worthy of the name;
