Wha in yon cavern grim an' sootie,

Clos'd under hatches,

Spairges about the brunstane cootie, Splashes, dish

To scaud poor wretches! scald

Hear me, auld Hangie, for a wee, Hangman

An' let poor damnèd bodies be;

I'm sure sma' pleasure it can gie,

Ev'n to a deil,

To skelp an' scaud poor dogs like me, spank, scald
