At slaps the billies halt a blink,
Till lasses strip their shoon:
Wi' faith an' hope, an' love an' drink,
They're a' in famous tune
For crack that day.
At slaps the billies halt a blink,
Till lasses strip their shoon:
Wi' faith an' hope, an' love an' drink,
They're a' in famous tune
For crack that day.
False flatterer, Hope, away!
How hope is born but to expire!
In manhood's dawning blush,
Bless him, Thou God of love and truth,
Up to a parent's wish.
