Third Epistle To J. Lapraik(4/4)
tty,
till ye fet ye're auld an' gatty,
an' be as ty
as ye were nine years less than thretty—
sweet ane an' twenty!
but stooks are cowpit wi' the bst,
and now the sinn keeks in the west,
then i maun rin amang the rest,
an' quat my ter;
sae i subscribe myself' in haste,
yours, rab the ranter.
