Poems and Songs of Robert Burns
does haughty gaul invasion threat? tune—“push about the jorum.” does haughty gaul invasion threat? then let the louns beware, sir; there's wooden walls upon our seas, and volunteers on shore, sir: the nith shall run to corsincon, and criffel sink in solway, ere we permit a foreign foe on british ground to rally! we'll ne'er permit a foreign foe on british ground to rally! o let us not, like snarling curs, in wrangling be divided, till, slap! come in an unco loun, and wi' a rung decide it! be britain still to britain true, amang ourselves united; for never but by british hands maun british wrangs be righted! no! never but by british hands shall british wrangs be righted! the kettle o' the kirk and state, perhaps a clout may fail in't; but deil a foreign tinkler loun shall ever ca'a nail in't. our father's blude the kettle bought, and wha wad dare to spoil it; by heav'ns! the sacrilegious dog shall fuel be to boil it! by heav'ns! the sacrilegious dog shall fuel be to boil it! the wretch that would a tyrant own, and the wretch, his true-born brother, who would set the mob aboon the throne, may they be damn'd together! who will not sing “god save the king,” shall hang as high's the steeple; but while we sing “god save the king,” we'll ne'er forget the people! but while we sing “god save the king,” we'll ne'er forget the people!M.HZGJJX.coM
