Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGINSTEAD of a Song boy's I'll give you a Toast | A |
Here's to the memory of those on the twelfth that we lost | B |
That we lost did I say nay by Heav'n that we found | C |
For their fame it will last while the world goes round | C |
The next in succession I'll give you's THE KING | D |
Whoe'er would betray him on high may he swing | D |
And here's the grand fabric our free CONSTITUTION | E |
As built on the base of our great Revolution | E |
And longer with Politics not to be cramm'd | F |
Be ANARCHY curs'd and TYRANNY damn'd | F |
And who would to LIBERTY e'er prove disloyal | G |
May his son be a hangman and he his first trial | G |
Robert Burns
