Friday first's the day appointed / By the Right Worshipful anointed,
To hold our grand procession; / To get a blad o' Johnie's morals, / And taste a swatch o' Manson's barrels
I' the way of our profession. / The Master and the Brotherhood / Would a' be glad to see you; / For me I would be mair than proud
To share the mercies wi' you. / If Death, then, wi' skaith, then, / Some mortal heart is hechtin, / Inform him, and storm him, / That Saturday you'll fecht him.
Robert Burns. / Mossgiel, An. M. 5790.
