Or foreign gill.

May gravels round his blather wrench, ladder

An' gouts torment him, inch by inch,

Wha twists his gruntle wi' a glunch face, growl

O' sour disdain,

Out owre a glass o' whisky punch

Wi' honest men!

O Whisky! soul o' plays an' pranks!

Accept a bardie's gratefu' thanks!

When wanting thee, what tuneless cranks creakings
