Oh, Daavid ! had you but been there, Wi' your leemonade and your ginger-beer, You might have saved me from despair, And a' the horrors that befell me. Which, Jockie, I am now to tell ye. A GOLFING IDYLL 13 My game, I told you had been good, Nine holes to play, eight up I stood. Sick o' the game, and sicker far o' Clootie, I'd ceased to care about the booty. I thocht I'd bounce him wi' my swagger, And get the better o' the beggar, ' Doctor, ' says I ' I've licked you into fits, Throw up the spon...ge, play double or quits ! ' * What ! ' shouted he, ' such cheek, you sot. Dost think me daft, you silly Scot ? That wise old saw hast thou forgot, " That he who suppers wi' the Deil, Lang spoon maun hae to sup his kail ! " ' Here, Jockie, I my temper lost, I'd hae my say whate'er the cost. * D — n you, ' says I, * you ca' yoursel' the Deil, You are na blate my bonnie chiel. The Deil's a saunt compared wi' you, You yelley-livered, bandy-legged Jew ; Quack doctor, purse-proud swaggerin' Jack, I'faith I'll lay you on your back.
