| Ne'er have I languished on the lower slopes | E |
| Of sweet Parnassus in the thrice dead years | F |
| Chanting in fathoms of the fathomless | F |
| To kindred ears | F |
| Certainly not No time for it | G |

| Nor mine the gift O gilded gift and grand | H |
| To linger near the murmur of the Nine | I |
| To mouth in music of the meaningless | F |
| Nay Never mine | I |

| But here to han'le the auld crambo clink | K |
| On hame owre themes weel kent by Galen's tribe | L |
| Regairdless o' what ither fowk may think | K |
| Or ca' the scribe | L |
| Ay That's aboot it noo | I |
