86. The Auld Farmer's New-Year-Morning Salutation to his Auld Mare Maggie

...hou never braing’t, an’ fetch’t, an’ fliskit;
But thy auld tail thou wad hae whiskit,
An’ spread abreed thy weel-fill’d brisket,
 Wi’ pith an’ power;
Till sprittie knowes wad rair’t an’ riskit
 An’ slypet owre.


When frosts lay lang, an’ snaws were deep,
An’ threaten’d labour back to keep,
I gied thy cog a wee bit heap
 Aboon the timmer:
I ken’d my Maggie wad na sleep,
 For that, or simmer.


In cart or car thou never reestit;
The steyest brae thou wad hae fac’t it;

 Why not?
Dine with some of the men and women who got rich off of
 your labor, who clip coupons with clean white fingers

Shearing at Castlereagh

...h him how to shear. 
They trim away the ragged locks, and rip the cutter goes, 
And leaves a track of snowy fleece from brisket to the nose; 
It's lovely how they peel it off with never stop nor stay, 
They're racing for the ringer's place this year at Castlereagh. 

The man that keeps the cutters sharp is growling in his cage, 
He's always in a hurry; and he's always in a rage -- 
"You clumsy-fisted mutton-heads, you'd turn a fellow sick, 
You pass yourselves as shearers, yo...Read more of this...

The eathen

...staches; you 'ear 'im slap' is boot.
'E learns to drop the "bloodies" from every word 'e slings,
An 'e shows an 'ealthy brisket when 'e strips for bars an' rings.

The cruel-tyrant-sergeants they watch 'im 'arf a year;
They watch 'im with 'is comrades, they watch 'im with 'is beer;
They watch 'im with the women at the regimental dance,
And the cruel-tyrant-sergeants send 'is name along for "Lance."

An' now 'e's 'arf o' nothin', an' all a private yet,
'Is room they up an' rag...Read more of this...

The Glove

``Once hold you, those jaws want no fresh hold,
``Their first would too pleasantly purloin
``The visitor's brisket or surloin:
``But who's he would prove so fool-hardy?
``Not the best man of Marignan, pardie!''

The sentence no sooner was uttered,
Than over the rails a glove flattered,
Fell close to the lion, and rested:
The dame 'twas, who flung it and jested
With life so, De Lorge had been wooing
For months past; he sat there pursuing
His suit, weighing out wit...Read more of this...
