Wi' queer contortions。



XVIII



Follows the prayer; the readin' next;

An' than the fisslin' for the text …

The twa…three last to find it; vext

But kind o' proud;

An' than the peppermints are raxed;

An' southernwood。



XIX



For noo's the time whan pows are seen

Nid…noddin' like a mandareen;

When tenty mithers stap a preen

In sleepin' weans;

An' nearly half the parochine

Forget their pains。



XX



There's just a waukrif' twa or three:

Thrawn commentautors sweer to ‘gree;

Weans glowrin' at the bumlin' bee

On windie…glasses;

Or lads that tak a keek a…glee

At sonsie lasses。



XXI



Himsel'; meanwhile; frae whaur he cocks

An' bobs belaw the soundin'…box;

The treesures of his words unlocks

Wi' prodigality;

An' deals some unco dingin' knocks

To infidality。



XXII



Wi' snappy unction; hoo he burkes

The hopes o' men that trust in works;

Expounds the fau'ts o' ither kirks;

An' shaws the best o' them

No muckle better than mere Turks;

When a's confessed o' them。



XXIII



Bethankit! what a bonny creed!

What mair would ony Christian need? …

The braw words rumm'le ower his heid;

Nor steer the sleeper;

And in their restin' graves; the deid

Sleep aye the deeper。





AUTHOR'S NOTE





It may be guessed by some that I had a certain parish in my eye; 

and this makes it proper I should add a word of disclamation。  In 

my time there have been two ministers in that parish。  Of the first 

I have a special reason to speak well; even had there been any to 

think ill。  The second I have often met in private and long (in the 

due phrase) 〃sat under〃 in his church; and neither here nor there 

have I heard an unkind or ugly word upon his lips。  The preacher of 

the text had thus no original in that particular parish; but when I 

was a boy he might have been observed in many others; he was then 

(like the schoolmaster) abroad; and by recent advices; it would 

seem he has not yet entirely disappeared。
