Confedere duces, 6 J vu /gift ante corona, That's nidder'd fae in hell, Sud here tak' fittininment, Is mair na' I can tell. Sail then thefe arms be deny'd To me, wha in this bruilzie Was the firft man that drew my durk, Came flaught-bred to the toulzie ? An' [ 9 1 An' fall this fleeth come farrer ben, Wha was fae dev'lifh furly, He fcarce wou'd gae a fit frae hame, An* o' us a* was burly ? An' frae the weir he did back hap, An* turn'd to us his fud : An' gar'd the hale-ware o' us trow That he was gane clean wod. Until the fin o' Nauplius, Mair ufelefs na* himfell, His jouckry-pauckry finding out, To weir did him compell. Lat him then now tak will an' wile, Wha nane at firft wou'd wear, An' I get baith the Jkaith an' fcorn, Twin'd o' my brither's gear 1 Becaufe [ to 1 Becaufe I was the foremoft man, An* fteed 4:he hetteft fire, Juft like the man that aught the cow, Gade deepeft i' the mire. I wifh, the chiel he had been Avod, Or that it had been trow'd ; That Mither o* mifchief had .not To Trofs town been row'd. Syne, Tzan's Ton, thou'd not been left On Lemnos* Hie to fkiiie, Where now thy groans in dowy dens The yerd-faft (lanes do thirle : An' on that fleeth Ufyfles head Sad curfes down does bicker, If there be gods aboon, I'm fire He'll get them leel and flcker. This [ It ") This doughty lad he was refolvcd Wi' me his fate to try, Wi' poifon'd ftewgs o' Hercules, Bat 'las ! his bleed wis fey. Wi' iicknefs now he's ferter like, Or like a water- wraith, An* hirplin* after the wil' birds, Can fcarce get meat an* claith. An' now thefe darts that weerded were To tak* the town o* Troy, To get meat for his gabb, he man Againft the birds employ. Yet he's alive, altho 5 to gang Wi' him he was fu' laith; If Talamede had been fae wife, He had been free frae /kaith : B For [ 12 ] For he'd been livin' ti' this day, An' flept iii a hale ikin, An' gotten fair play for his life, An' ftan'd he had nae been. Bccaufe he proved he was nae wod, He was fae fu' o' fraud, He flack'd na' till he gat the life O' this poor fakelefs lad. For to the Grecians lie did {wear, He had fae great envy, That gou'd in goupens he had got^ The army to betray. An' wi' mifchief he was fae gnib, To get his ill intent, He howk'd the gou'd which he himfei* Had yerded in his tent. Thus 1 [ 13 ] Thus wr* uncanny pranks he fights, An' fae he did beguile, An' twin'd us o' our kneefeft men, By death and by exile. Altho' mair gabby he may be Than N eft or wife and true, Yet few will fay, it was nae fau't That he did him furhow. Fan his poor glyde was fae mifchiev'd, He'd neither ca' nor drive, The lyart lad, wi' years fair dwang'd, The traitor thief did leave. Thefe are nae threeps o' mine, right well Kens Diomede the wight, Wha' wi fnell words him fair did fnib, An' bann'd his cowardly flight. The 4 The gods tho' look on mortal men Wi' eyn baith juft and gleg ; Lo he, wha Neftor wou'd nae help, For help himfell does beg I Then as he did the auld man leave A mon' fae fierce a menzie, The law he made, lat him be paid Back juft in his ain cuinzie. Yet fan he cryed, O neipers help 1 I ran to tak' his part, He look'd {ae haw as 'gin a dwame Had juft o'ercaft his heart. For they had gi'en him fik a fleg, He look'd as he'd been doited, [ For ilka' limb an' lith o' him 'Gainft ane anithir knoited. Syne L '5 3 Syne wi' my targe I cover'd him, Fan on the yerd he lies, An' fav'd his fmeerlefs faul, I think, 'Tis little to my praife. Bat 'gin wi' Batie ye will bourd, Come back, lad, to yon place j Lat Trojans an' your wonted fears Stand glourin' i' your face: Syne flouch behind my doughty targe, That yon day your head happit ; There fight your fill, fmce ye are grown Sae unco' crous an' cappit. Fan I came to him, wi' fad wound He had nae maughts to gang, Bat fan he faw that he was fafe, Right fouple ccoi'd he fpang. [ 16 1 Lo I He&or to the toulzie came, An* gods baith fierce an* grim, He flegged ftarker fouk na' you, Sae fair they dreaded him. --4 Yet as he did o' (laughter vouft> I len'd him fik a dird, As laid him arfelins on his back, to wamble o* the yerd. Fan he fpang'd out, rampag'd an* faid That nane amon' us a* Durft venture out upo' the lone, Wi* him to fhak' a fa' ; I dacker'd wi* him by myfeF, Ye wifh't it to my kavel, An* gin ye. {peer fa' got the day, We parted on a nevek Lo! C 17 1 Lo !

A >>v F 1 N I $. A JOURNAL FROM LONDON to PORTSMOUTH. S I R: IWou'd hae written you lang 'ere now, bat I hae been fae eident writing jour- nals that I- hae been quite forfoughen wi' them : bat diel ane has glacked my mitten for as fair as I hae been nidder'd wi' them ; foufomever, fin we're fpeak- ing o' journals, I hae been fae baul as fen you a fampler o' mine frae London to Portfmouth : An* firft an' foremoft, there was three i' the coach forby me; the firfl was a leiftenant o' a fhip, a gau- cy, fwack youi*g follow, an' as guid a pint-ale's man as 'ere becked his fit at the coutchack o' a browiler wife's ingle : he was well wordy o' the gardy-chair it- fell, or e'en to fit ben inno the guidman upo' the bed bink o' the houfe: I be- lieve an honcfter follow never brack the nook [ -3 ] nook o' a corter, nor cuttit a fang frae a kebbuck, wi' a whittle that lies i' the quinzie o' the maun oner the death. The fecond chiel was a thick, fetterel, fwown pallach, wi' a great chuller oner his cheeks, like an ill fcraped haggis: he's now gane back to London, an' I'm leer, gin ye'll tak 7 the pains to fin' him out, an' flay him belly -rlaught, his fkin wad mak' a gallant tulchin for you : bat I canna fay 1 had ony caufe to wifh the body ill, for he did gaylies confeirin, only he connach'd a hantle o' tobacco ; for diel belickit did he the hale gate bat feugh at his pipe; an' he was fae brow- den' d upon't, that he was like to fmore us i' the coach wi' the very ewder o't: bat yet he was a fine gabby, auld-farren early, and held us browly out V langer bi' the rod. The third was an auld, wizen'd, haave coloured carlen, a fad gyfard indeed, an* as bauP as ony ettercap : we had been at nae great tinfel apieft we had been quit o' her ; for diel a maik to her that e'er you faw: for altho' you had feen her yourfell, you wou'd na' kent fat to mak* o' her, unlefs it had been a gyr-carlen, or let her up amon' a curn air bear to fley awa' awa' the ruicks ; Jidge ye gin we had na' bony company. But there was fomething war na' a this yet, the diel a drap guid ale cou'd we get upo' the rod ; I canna tell you fat diel was the matter wi't, gin the wort was blinket, or fat it was, bat you ne'er faw fik peltry i* your born days; for it tailed fvveet i' your mou, bat fan anes it was down your wizen, it had an ugly knaggim, an' a wauch wa-gang: an' fyne the head o't was as yallow as bieft milk, it was enough to gi' a war/h- itamack'd body a fcunner ; bat ye ken well enough that I was never vera ogert- fu' : bat for a that we came browlies o' the rod, till we came within a mile of Godlamin, a little townie upo' the rod; an' fyne on a fuddenty, our great gille- gapous follow o' a coach-man turned o'er our gallant cart amon' a heap o' fhirrels, an' peat-mow, an' flang her upo' her bred-fide i' the gutter: my fide happen'd to be newmoft, an' the great hudderen carlen was riding hoc- kerty cockerty upo' my fhoulders in a hand-clap : for the wile limmer was fas dozn'd an' funied wi' cauld, that fhe had neither farrach nor maughts; for fhe tumbled down upo' me wi' fik a reimis, that [ *J 1 that me gart my head cry knoit upo* the coach door; 1 wat ihe rais'd a norlick on my crown, that was not well for twa days. By this time the gutters was com- in in at the coach door galore, an* I was lying tawin an* wamlin under lucky-min- ny like a fhirdy hoggie that had fallen into a peat-pot, or a ftirkiethat had fla* yer'd into a well-eye: faul man, I began to think be this time that my difty-rneil- ler wis near made, an' wad hae gien twice fourty pennies to had the gowan oner my feet again ; for thinks I, an' the horle tak' a brattle now, they may come to lay up my mittens, an' ding me yavil, an' as ftytn as gin I had been elf* ihot: bat the thing that angered me ward awa, was to be fae fair gnidg'd by a chan- ler-chafted, auld runk carlen ; for an it- had been a tyddie, cauller, fwack penny- worth, I might hae chanc'd to get a mens o' her, an' gotten a ride on her agcn, gin fhe had been neiperly ; bat to mak' a lang tale fliort, I gat out oner the wife, an' clam out at t'ither door o' the coach, as gin I had been gain out at the mm o' a houic that wanted baith crook an' rantle-trce. Saul man, ye may laugh at me fan ye read this, bat I wat it was na' mows, for I was fidgen fain an' unco' vokie Vokic fan I gat out oner her, for as lag- gart an' trachel'd as I wis wi' tawin amo' the dubs ; I believe gin ye had feen me than (for it was juft i' the glomin) ftaak- in about like a hallen-fhakerj you wou'd hae taen me for a water-wreath, or fome gruous ghaiil ; bat Tin feer you wou'd hae laughin fair, gin ye had feen how the auld hag gloffed fan fhe fell down after I got out oner her; however twa or three o's winfree'd the wife, an* gat her out. Fan we wis a' out, the vile tarveal fleeth o' a coach-man began to yark the peer beafts fae, that you wou'd hae heard the fough o' ilka thudd afore it came down; bat a' this wou'd na* dee, fometimes the breail-wodcliesj an' fometimes the theets brak, and the fwingle-trees flew in flin- ders, as gin they had been as freugh as kail-caitacks; fyne ilka a thing gaed wid- ilerdns about wi* us : at laft we, like fier- dy follows, flew to't flaught-bred, thinkin to raife it in a widden-dream ; bat faul we wis miitane, for we cou'd na' budge it : at the laft an' the lang* came up twa three fwankies riding at the .hand- gallop, garring the dubs flee about them like fpeen-drift, an' they feein us tawin an' workin fae eident, fpeird fat wis the matter wi' us j for fan they law us a' in a bourich bonrich, they had fome allaguft that fome mifhanter had befaln us ; however they wou'd na' take ony nttininment wi' our bufmefs, till we fpeerd gin they wou'd lend us a hand to winfree our coach ; faul the lads wis nae very driech ardraw- in, bat lap in amo' the dubs in a hand- clap ; I'm leer fome o ? them wat the I'm a* end o' their moggan : fyne we laid our heads together, an' at it wi' virr ; at laft, \vi' great peching an* granin, we gat it up with a pingle. By this time it wis growing mark, an' about the time o* night that the boodies begin to gang, an* as I was in a fwidder fat to dee, I wou'd na' gang into the coach agen, far fear I fhou'd hae gotten my harns kleckit out, or fome o' my banes broken or dung a fmafb ; on the tither hand I did na* care to ftilp upo' my queets, far fear" o' the briganers, an' mair attour, I did na' na' care to bachle my new fheen: how- ever the lieftennant. an' I ventured on the rod : for ye ken well enough, we, be- in' wet, wou'd foon grow davert to Hand or fit either in the^cauld that time o' night : an' we cou'd na' get a chiel to fliaw us the gate, alpuift we had kreiin'd his liv'wi a Ihillin; bat be guid luck we antcred browlics upo' the rod, an' left D the the auld gabby early, an' the hudderen wife, to help the leethfu' leepit fleeth o' a coach-man to yoke his horfe ; for mo- ny a time did he bid diel confound him frae neck to heel, or elfe fheet him Ityth, that he might na' dee o' dwinin. O man, an ye had feen how laggert the auld-far- ren body wis afore he gat the runk car- len hame to our lodgin ; wae worth rne bat ye wou'd hae hard the peer burlen belchs whoilin like a horfe i' the ilrangle, a rigglenth e'er you came neer them ; an' fyne the auld wife complain'd fae upon her banes, that you wou'd hae thought fhe had been in the dead-thraw, in a wea- ven after fhe came in ; guid feggs I wis fley'd that fhe had taen the wytenon-fa, an' inlakit afore fipper, far fhe fhudder- ed a' like a klippcrt in a cauld day. There happen'd to be i' the houfe we came to lodge in, three young giglet hinies, an' they were like to pirn their houghs fan they faw how blubber'd an' droukit the peer wary-draggels war fan they came in ; far ye wou'cf hae thought that the yerd-meel had been upo' their face : There wis ane o' the queans, I be- lieve, had caften a lagen-gird ; fhe tither wis a haave colour'd fmeerlefs tapie, wi' a great haflick o' hair, hingin in twa-pen- nerts nerts about her haflfats ; ihe looked fae allagrugous that a bodie wou'd nae car'd to meddle wi' her, apeice they had been hir'd to do't ; bat the third wis a cauller, fwack bit o' beef, as mirkie as maukjn at the flart, an' as wanton as a fpenin fcmb. I believe fhe was a leel maiden, an* I canna fay bat I had a kirnen wi' her, an' a kine o' a harlin favour for her ; bat did na* care for bein aur brouden'd upon her at firft, for fear fhe fhou'd fay that I .was new-fangle ; however I took her by the bought o' the gardy, an' gar'd her fit down by me ; bat fhe bad me had aff my hands, far I mifgrugled a' her apron, an* mifmaggFd a' her cocker-nony : I canna' fay bat I wouM hae been content to hae a night o' her i' the kill-hole, altho' I had nae mair claife bat a fpraing'd faikie, or a riach plaidie to hap our hurdies; bat I had not fet her well down by me, till in came fik a rangel o' gentles, an' a liethry o' hanziel flyps at their tail, that in a weaven the houfe wis gain like Low- ren-fair; for you wou'd na' hard day nar door ; fyne the queans wis in fik a firry-farry, that they began to mifca ane anither like kail-wives, an' you wou'd hae thought that they wou'd hae flown in ither's witters in a hand-clap : I wis anes [ 3 ] anes gain to fpeer fat wis the matter, bat I law a curn o' camla-like follows \vi' them, an' I thought they were a fremt to me, an' fae they might aet ither, as Towy's hawks did, far ony thing that I car'd ; far thinks I, an' I fhou'd be fae gnib as middle wi' the thing that did nae brak my teas, fome o' the chiels might let a raught at me, an' gi' me a clamehewit to fnib me frae ;Comin that gate agen. At laft ane o* the hiflies came an' fpeerd at me gin I wou'd hae a bit o' a roafted grycie, or a bit o' a bacon haam, (that is the hinder hurdies o' an auld fwine) for Upper, bat ye ken well enough that I was nevet ve- ry brouden'd upo' (wine's flefh, fin my ^mither gae me a forlethie o't, 5 at maiil hae gi'en me the gulfach ; an' fae I tauld her I rather hae the leomen of an auld ew, or a bit o' a dead nout. By this time, it wis time to mak the meel-an-bree, an* deel about the caftocks, bat diel a word o' that cou'd I hear i' this houfe ; well thinks I, an' this be the gate o't, I'll bet- ter gang to my bed as i'm bodden : fan they faw that, they lent in fome fmach- ry or ither to me, an' a pint of their feuds, as fowr as ony bladoch, or wigg that comes out o' the reem-kirn ; far they [ 31 ] they thou't ony thing might fair a peer body like me; bat the leave o' the gen- tles wis drinkin wine a' fouth, tho' I might nae fa that: Bat to mak' an end o' a lang flory, I made fhift to mak' a fipper o't, an' gaed to my bed like a guid bairn, an' the nieft mornin they had me up afore the iky, an' I believe afore the levrick or yern-bliter began to fing, an' hurl'd me awa to Portfmouth. Gin ye like this piece o' my journal, I care nae by to fen you a weekly jour- nal, in cafe I binna thrang ; bat my fing- ers are fae davert wi' the cauld, that I canna write langer at this time; bat fan this comes to hand, I hope you'll be fae kind as let us hear frae you. Adieu dryly, we fall drink fan we meet. FINIS. A SHOP BILL, TO Ilka a body be it kend. Frae John A-groats to the lands end, That frae this day I do intend, fome fhanks to fell ; This is my bill, to you I fend that it may tell.

S Bat [ 33 J Bat if fome lads ihou'd ftand in need, Of fhanks that are for fimmer weed, I'll fit them wi' the beft o' threed, or white or brown, That may well fair the gentleft bleed in a' the town. The muckleft man, he may be fitted Wi' hofe that's either wove or knitted, An' gin he likes, he's get them lifted, or brown or black ; We'll gar him fay, he's nae outwitted, fan he comes back. The porter, car-man, or fervant lad, That ca's the beaft wi' fup or gad, May come to me, where may be had, for their nain wear, The ftarkeft hofe that can be made, an' yet nae dear. Far wary-draggle, an' fharger elf, I hae the gear upo' my Jkeif, Will make them foon lay down their pelf, fan anes they fee, That they wi' eafe can fit themfelves, an* deal wi' me.
