Did Rabbie Say It At An' Efter Denner Speech?

Hawk-teuchin - spitting up phlegm Nimmer - dinner Gundie-guts - fat slobs Mickle-moud - great big mouth Sachleasly - Innocently Muckle herts - big hearts Rabbie wis hawk-teuchin frae the back o’ his sare throat, Afore he gave his efter nimmer speech. He said tae the landed gentry, “ye’re a set o’ gundie-guts, But far be it frae me tae staund up here an’ preach. Ye ken ah’ve stacks o’ gumption fur ye widna asked me by Tae render words o’ prose frae ma mickle-moud: Sae sachleasly ah’ll spout ma rhyming ware fur ye, It’ll mak yer muckle herts feel staunch an’ proud.”
