Pàgina 178 - And take a share with those that bear The budget and the apron! "And by that stowp, my faith an' houpe, An' by that dear Kilbaigie! If e'er ye want, or meet wi' scant, May I ne'er weet my craigie.
Pàgina 183 - The rich man's painted windows Hide the concerts of the quality; The poor can but share A crack'd fiddle in the air, Which offends all sound morality. The rich man is invisible In the crowd of his gay society; But the poor man's delight Is a sore in the sight, And a stench in the nose of piety.
Pàgina 22 - A king can make a belted knight, A marquis, duke, and a* that, But an honest man's aboon his might, Guid faith, he maunna fa* that ! For a
