Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDE| SHREWD Willie Smellie to Crochallan came | A |
| The old cock'd hat the grey surtout the same | A |
| His bristling beard just rising in its might | B |
| 'Twas four long nights and days to shaving night | B |
| His uncomb'd grizzly locks wild staring thatch'd | C |
| A head for thought profound and clear unmatch'd | C |
| Yet tho' his caustic wit was biting rude | D |
| His heart was warm benevolent and good | E |
