An' hear us squeal!
Great is thy pow'r, an' great thy fame;
Far kenn'd an' noted is thy name;
An', tho' yon lowin' heugh's thy hame, flaming pit
Thou travels far;
An' faith! thou's neither lag nor lame, backward
Nor blate nor scaur. shy, afraid
Whyles rangin' like a roarin' lion
For prey, a' holes an' corners tryin';
Whyles on the strong-wing'd tempest flyin',
