Epistle To J. Lapraik, An Old Scottish B (第3/3页)
but, gif ye want ae friend that's true, i'm on your list. i winna blaw about mysel, as ill i like my fauts to tell; but friends, an' folk that wish me well, they sometimes roose me; tho' i maun own, as mony still as far abuse me. there's ae wee faut they whiles lay to me, i like the lasses—gude fie me! for mony a plack they wheedle frae me at dance or fair; maybe some ither thing they gie me, they weel spare. but maue raaue fair, i should be proud to meet you there; we'se gie ae night's discharge to care, if we father; an' hae a s o' rhymin-ware wi' ane anither. the fill chap, we'se gar him clatter, an' kirsen him wi' reekin water; syne we'll sit down an' tak our whitter, to cheer our heart; an' faith, we'se be acquainted better before we part. awa ye selfish, war'ly race, wha think that havins, sense, an' grace, ev'n love an' friendship should give place to catch—the—plack! i dinna like to see your face, nor hear your crack. but ye whom social pleasure charms whose hearts the tide of kindness warms, who hold your being oerms, “each aid the others,” e to my bowl, e to my arms, my friends, my brothers! but, to clude my lale, as my auld pen's worn to the gristle, twa lines frae you wad gar me fissle, who am, most fervent, while i either sing or whistle, your friend and servant.
