Ae day the rest set out to'see't
Fur auld Itingsyne the way they gree't,
But when they gade, he on them ee't
Wi' caul disdain,
And wadna own them, straught nor glee't,
In ony strain.
Early pride begins to shoot,
Wlien wealth is known to be the root.
Even the boy will boast profuse,
Before he can his clothes unloose :
His father's pomp, with care he traces,
And then assumes another species ;
An' if fortune gives the splendid coat,
The poor old friend is soon forgot.
