“Hear me, auld Hangie, for a wee,
An’ let poor, damned bodies bee;

To skelp an’ scaud poor dogs like me,

From my poor cheek? Then he hath wasted it.
Are my discourses dull? Barren my wit?
If voluble and sharp discourse be marred,
Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard.”

“You see me here, you gods, a poor old man,
As full of grief as age, wretched in both.”
