Out-owre the lay. Across, lea
Tho' now thou's dowie, stiff, an' crazy, drooping
An' thy auld hide's as white's a daisie,
I've seen thee dappled, sleek, an' glaizie, glossy
A bonnie gray:
He should been tight that daur't to raize thee, excite
Ance in a day. Once
Thou ance was i' the foremost rank,
A filly buirdly, steeve, an' swank, stately, compact, limber
An' set weel down a shapely shank,
