We've worn to crazy years thegither ; We'll toyte about wi' ane anither ; Wi' tentie care I'll flit thy tether To some hain'd rig, Whare ye may nobly rax your leather, Wi' sma' fatigue. SKETCH. 183 SKETCH. A Little, upright, pert, tart, tripping wight, And still his precious self his dear delight ; Who loves his own smart shadow in the streets Better than e'er the fairest she he meets : A man of fashion too, he made his tour, Learn'd vive la bagatelle, et vive Tamour ; So travelPd monkeys their... grimace improve, Polish their grin, nay, sigh for ladies^ love. Much specious lore, but little understood ; Veneering oft outshines the solid wood : His solid sense — by inches you must tell, But mete his cunning by the old Scots ell ; His meddling vanity, a busy fiend. Still making work his selfish craft must mend. WEARY FA' YOU, DUNCAN GRAY. Tune — " Dzmcan Gray.'''' Weary fa' you, Duncan Gray — Ha, ha, the girdin o't ! - Wae gae by you, Duncan Gray — Ha, ha, the girdin o't ! When a' the lave gae to their play, Then I maun sit the lee-lang day.
