CAKES CROUDY.
You're welcome, Jack, we'll join a plack,
To drink your last confusion,
That grace and truth we may possess
Once more without delusion.

see such, or find such a sou - dy? Bannocks of bear meal,
cakes of crou-dy.
Deddy on politicks dings all the nation,
As well as Lord Huffie does for his discretion ;
And Crawford comes next, with his Archie of Levy,
Wilkie, and Webster, and Cherrytrees Davy.
There's Greenock, there's Dickson, Houston of that ilkie.
For statesmen, for taxmen, for soldiers, what think ye ?
Where shall ye see such, or find such a soudy ?
Bannocks of bear meal, cakes of croudy.
There's honest Mass Thomas, and sweet Geordie Brodie,
Weel kend Mr Wm. Yeitch, and Mass John Goudy,
For preaching, for drinking, for playing at noudy —
Bannocks of bear meal, cakes of croudy.
