ace, for here thou hast a chosen race: but god found their stubborn face, an' blast their name, wha bring thy elders to disgrace an' public shame. lord, mind gaw'n hamilton's deserts; he drinks, an' swears, an' plays at cartes, yet has sae mony takin arts, wi' great and sma', frae god's ain priest the people's hearts he steals awa. an' when we chasten'd him therefor, thou kens how he bred sic a splore, ahe warld in a roar o' laughing at us;— curse thou his basket and his store, kail an' potatoes. lord, hear my ear cry and pray'r, against that presbyt'ry o' ayr; thy strht hand, lord, make it bare upo' their heads; lord visit them, an' dinna spare, for their misdeeds. o lord, my god! that glib-tongu'd aiken, my vera heart and flesh are quakin, to think how we stood sweatin', shakin, an' p-'d wi' dread, while he, wi' hingin lip an' snakin, held up his head. lord, in thy day o' vengeary him, lord, visit them wha did employ him, and pass not in thy mercy by 'em, nor hear their pray'r, but for thy people's sake, destroy 'em, an' dinna spare. but, lord, remember me an' mine wi' mercies temp'ral an' divine, that i fra' gear may shine, excell'd by nane, and a' the glory shall be thine, amen, amen!
