Strana 103 - But haply, in some cottage far apart, May hear, well pleased, the language of the soul. And in his book of life the inmates poor enrol.
Strana 45 - And wi' a rung decide it. Be Britain still to Britain true, Amang oursel's united ; For never but by British hands Maun British wrangs be righted ! For never, &c. The kettle o' the Kirk and State, Perhaps a clout may fail in 't ; But deil a foreign tinkler loun Shall ever ca
