SCOTTISH (Group 7): AYRSHIRE.
The following lines are quoted from a well-known
poem by Robert Burns (1759-1796).
The Twa Dogs (C{ae}sar and Luath).
_C{ae}s_. "I've notic'd, on our Laird's court-day,
An' mony a time my heart's been wae,
Poor tenant bodies, scant o' cash,
How they maun thole a factor's snash
He'll stamp an' threaten, curse an' swear,
He'll apprehend them, poind their gear;
While they maun stan', wi' aspect humble,
An' hear it a', an' fear and tremble!
I see how folk live that hae riches;
But surely poor folk maun be wretches.
