1800.
QUOTH gobbin Tom of Lancashire,
To northern Jock, a lowland drover,
“Thoose are foin kaise thai'rt driving there,
They've zure been fed on English clover.”
“Foin kaise !” quoth Jock, “ye bleth'rin hash,
Deil draw your nose as lang's a sow's
That tauk o yours is queer-like trash ;
Foin kaise! poor gowk!—their names are koose.”
The very fault which I in others see,
Like kind, or worse, perhaps is seen in me.
A Lesson was written by Tannahill when he resided in England in 1800.—Ed.
