But, faith! the birkie wants a Manse, fellow

So cannilie he hums them; prudently, humbugs

Altho' his carnal wit an' sense

Like hafflins-wise o'ercomes him nearly half

Here's crying out for bakes an' gills, rolls

An' there the pint-stowp clatters;

While thick an' thrang, an' loud an' lang, busy
