The Dominie
The dominie thocht it an unca thing,
The Mither tongue.
Like Sabbath braws, he glorified gentility
An’ hauled ma kail daily throw the rick
Dubbin’ the Doric orra, coorse, ill-fared
A peer realtion o’ the Southern spik
Set by unsung.
The mannie’s deid or, if he’s nae,
By God! he should be!
Mim-moued, his cantin’ quate.
Nae doot, he’s since jeloused,
It’s deeds that mak the man — nae wards
A thochtie late.
