A New Scotch Whim.

I. DEel faw mine Ey'ne If e'er I se ken Syke a Parcel of Loons in a Nation . Since the Laird of the Boyn Does Covet mere Coyn , They repent of their geud Abdication . For the Loons of the Kirk Do now find their Work Is a muckle too big for their Purses ; And the War that 's begun by the geud valiant Son , Will be Crown'd with a Trophee of Curses . II. What a Deelish stir We make with War , To confoond our Estates for Ambition , With a crafty Pretence Of conquering France , To drill out the Coin of our Nation . 'T was a muckle thing To exchange our King , Lubber-Loons ha' got wee l by the Barter ; For our geud valiant Prince Takes the faw Loon of France As the stoot bonny Scot teuk the Tartar .
