I said to young Allan M'IlverayC
Beside the swift swirls of the NorthD
When in lilac shot through with a silver rayC
We haul'd the strong salmon fish forthD
Said only He gave us some troubleE
To land him and what does he weighC
Our friend has caught one that weighs doubleE
The game for the candle won't payC
Us to dayC
We may tie up our rods and awayC
-
I said to old Norman M'GregorC
Three leagues to the west of Glen DhuF
I had drawn with a touch of the triggerC
The best bead that ever I drewC
Said merely For birds in the stubbleE
I once had an eye I could swearC
He's down but he's not worth the troubleE
Of seeking You once shot a bearC
In his lairC
'Tis only a buck that lies thereC
-
I said to Lord Charles only last yearC
The time that we topp'd the oak railG
Between Wharton's plough and Whynne's pastureC
And clear'd the big brook in BlakesvaleG
We only at Warburton's doubleG
He fell then I finish'd the runH
And kill'd clean said So bursts a bubbleG
That shone half an hour in the sunH
What is wonH
Your sire clear'd and captured a gunH
-
I said to myself in true sorrowC
I said yestere'en A fair prizeI
Is won and it may be to morrowC
'Twill not seem so fair in thine eyesI
Real life is a race through sore troubleG
That gains not an inch on the goalG
And bliss an intangible bubbleG
That cheats an unsatisfied soulG
And the wholeG
Of the rest an illegible scrollG
