O'let us not, like fnarling curs,
In wrangling be divided,
Till, flap, come in an unco loun,
And wi' a rung decide it:
Be Britain ftill to Britain true,
Amang ourfels united:
^or 'never but by Britifh. hands
Maun Britifh wrangs be righted.
For never but &c.
The kettle o' the Kirk and State,
Perhaps a clout may fail int;
But deil a foreign tinkler loun
Shall ever ca a nail inf.
Our fathers blude the kettle bought:
And vvha wad dare to fpoil it,
By Heavens, the faciile^ious dog
Shall fuel be to boil iti
By Heavens, &c.
The wretch that would a Tj rant own,
And the wretch, his true fwern brother,
Who would fet the Mob above the throne,
May they be darnn'd together.
Who will not ling, God fave the king;
Shall hang as highs the fteeploj
But while we fmg.God fave the king,
We'll ne'er forget the People.
But while we fing fee.
