An' formin' assignations

To meet some day.

But now the Lord's ain trumpet touts, sounds

Till a' the hills are rairin', roaring

An' echoes back return the shouts;

Black Russel is na sparin';

His piercing words, like Highlan' swords,

Divide the joints an' marrow;

His talk o' Hell, where devils dwell,

Our very ‘sauls does harrow’
