[Music ]

YE Brittons aw,
    Who are moulding the Law,
For your use as occasion is fitting;
    What a Deel did you gain,
    By late muckle pain,
When our Peers were outvoted from Sitting:
    Woons, dant we know,
    That a few Years ago,
Ere ye twin'd the Rose with the Thistle;
    Yead a gin any Flower,
    That ye had in your pow'r,
Tho' we now are scarce worth a Whistle.

    Gud feth we see,
    Like a Lass that too free,
Has bin bob'd of her Maidenly treasure;
    That instead of regard,
    For a bargain so hard,
You think you may Slight us at pleasure:
    But woons, take heed,
    Say our Loons near the Tweed,
For if no brave Calledonian;
    Made a Lord by the Queen,
    Mayn't do like the Sixteen,
Deel awa with the rest of the U——n.
