But, hold, — I'm wrong to doubt your sense. For pride proceeds from ignorance. If peace of mind lay in fine clothes, I'd be the first of fluttering beaux, And strut as proud as ony peacock That ever crawed on top o' hay-cock ; And ere I'd know one vexing thought, Get dollar buttons on my coat, Wi' a the lave o' fulsome trash on, That constitutes a man of fashion. Oh, grant me this, kind Providence : A moderate, decent competence ; Thou'lt see me smile, in independence, Above weak-sauled, pride-...born ascendence, But whether ye're gane to teach the wliistle. 'Midst noise and rough reg'mental bustle ; Or gane to strut upon the stage, Smit wi' the mania o' the age ; Or Scotchman-like ha'e tramp'd abreed, 100 tannaiiill's poem;3. To yon big town, far soutb the Tweed ; Or dourin' in the hermit's cell, Unblessing and unblessed yoursel' ; In Gude's name write !— tak' up your pen, A' how ye're doing let me ken, Sae hoping, quickly, your epistle, Adieu ! thou genuine son of song and whistle.
