 TO DR. MACKENZIE, MAUCHLINE

 

MOSSGIEL, AN. M. 5790

Friday first's the day appointed
By the Right Worshipful Anointed,
To hold our grand procession;
To get a blaud o Johnie's morals,
An taste a swatch o Manson's barrels
I' the way of our profession.

Our Master and the Brotherhood
Wad a' be glad to see you.
For me, I wad be mair than proud
To share the mercies wi you.
If Death, then, wi skaith, then,
Some mortal heart is hechtin,
Inform him, an storm him,
That Saturday you'll fecht him.
ROBERT BURNS
