The Ordination(3/3)
morality himsel',
embracing all opinions;
hear, how he gies the tither yell,
between his twa companions!
see, how she peels the skin an' fell,
as ane were peelin onions!
now there, they're packed aff to hell,
an' banish'd our dominions,
henceforth this day.
o happy day! rejoice, rejoice!
come bouse about the porter!
morality's demure decoys
shall here nae mair find quarter:
mackinlay, russell, are the boys
that heresy can torture;
they'll gie her on a rape a hoyse,
and cowe her measure shorter
by th' head some day.
come, bring the tither mutchkin in,
and here's—for a conclusion—
to ev'ry new light mother's son,
from this time forth, confusion!
if mair they deave us wi' their din,
or patronage intrusion,
we'll light a spunk, and ev'ry skin,
we'll rin them aff in fusion
like oil, some day.
