Not illustrated. 1881 Excerpt: ... She's aware o' your lear, An' your lingo, sae cheatin' an' lood, auld man. Her heart's in the " kirk," an' her e'e, auld man, Still, tae win her you micht mak' a lee, auld man; But whiles you get fou Wi' verbosity's dew, Sae her honest heart canna but dree, auld man. She caresna for flatterin' cracks, auld man, Nor yet for your tree-felling axe, auld man; Be this aye her rule, Jenny Geddes' stool, And this she will never relax, auld man. The Heart o' Mid Lothian is stern, auld man, O' this you ha'e something to learn, auld man; Three cheers for the earl, This noble young carl, Wha's wed tae this spirit o' darin', auld man. There's a terrible cry aboot brains, auld man, They're gane gyte 'mang your Radical weans, auld man; She admits you've your share, But you've naething tae spare, For on oor side supremely it reigns, auld man. I'll gi'e you a toast o' my ain, auld man--May your powerful ambition to rule, auld man; Reign years nine or ten O'er the wood o' Hawarden, Where you'll prate tae nae pooers but your ain, auld man. HE IS COMING. He is coming, he is coming, All is ready for the show, The pantomimic house is up--The Gladstone house, you know. There are candles by the thousand To illuminate the scene, And Radicals turned animals To draw their god's machine. He is coming, he is coming, Know his lordship will be there; And the greatest lubricator, If in trim, will take the chair, And all the little gods of light Who shine at Addiewell: What a glare in the chair Keeping charge of the stell. He is coming, he is coming, You'll be offered two to one, In favour of the southern grey, Whose wind for running's done. But whose backers' wealthy wisdom, Full of speculative sway, Will give two to one on Gladstone--Come away, come away? He is coming, he is ...
