Robert Burns - Versified Note to Dr. Mackenzie, Mauchline lyrics

FRIDAY first's the day appointed By the Right Worshipful anointed, To hold our grand procession; To get a blad o' Johnie's morals, And taste a swatch o' Manson's barrels I' the way of our profession. The Master and the Brotherhood Would a' be glad to see you; For me I would be mair than proud To share the mercies wi' you. If d**h, then, wi' skaith, then, Some mortal heart is hechtin, Inform him, and storm him, That Saturday you'll fecht him.ROBERT BURNS.Mossgiel, An. M. 5790.
