As Tam the chapman on a day, / Wi'Death forgather'd by the way, / Weel pleas'd, he greets a wight so famous, / And Death was nae less pleas'd wi' Thomas, / Wha cheerfully lays down his pack, / And there blaws up a hearty crack: / His social, friendly, honest heart / Sae tickled Death, they could na part; / Sae, after viewing knives and garters, / Death taks him hame to gie him quarters.
