Fat Brose ofAald Scotland, *
To the foregoing Tune. *
Since the English on gutlingsuch praises bestow,
As to boast all their courage to roast- beef they owe;
Of the brose let a Scotsman the excellence show.
O ! the fat brose of auld Scotland,
An' O ! the old Scottish fat brose.
Of their beef an' their pudding they need not much
boast,
How the vaunting Armada they drove from the coast;
When 'tis very well known the wind rul'd the roast*
O ! the faUbrose, &c.
Besides let me ask, e'er I give them belief,
When they sent for the Saxons to beg for relief,
Pray what had become of their pudding an' beef f
O ! the poor beef of old England,
An' 01 the old English poor beef.
An Englishman, who having sometimes laughed at Sawny and his
brose, thinks the following lines due to the. captors, of the luviJt-
Obte Standard.
