Elegy On The Year 1788（2 / 2）

  for e'nburgh wells are grutten dry.
  o eighty-nine, thou's but a bairn,
  an' no owre auld, i hope, to learn!
  thou beardless boy, i pray tak care,
  thou now hast got thy daddy's chair;
  nae handcuff'd, mizl'd, hap-shackl'd regent,
  but, like himsel, a full free agent,
  be sure ye follow out the plan
  nae waur than he did, honest man!
  as muckle better as you can.
