For all Thy goodness lent:

That's sweetly play'd in tune.

Painch, tripe, or thairm:

Comin Thro' the Rye
Robert Burns

She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Mary Morison

It is the wish'd the trysted hour.
Those smiles and glances let me see,
That makes the miser's treasure poor.

To a Louse

Ha! whare ye gaun' ye crowlin ferlie?
Your impudence protects you sairly;

Owre gauze and lace,

Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!
