At times I'm fash'd wi' fleshly lust; troubled

An' sometimes too, in warldly trust,

Vile self gets in;

But Thou remembers we are dust,

Defil'd wi' sin.

O Lord! yestreen, Thou kens, wi' Meg—

Thy pardon I sincerely beg—

O! may't ne'er be a living plague

To my dishonour,

An' I'll ne'er lift a lawless leg
