  1. Wi' tooth can ever flint-food chew!
  2. So thou, and pleasant happy life
  3. Lead wi' thy parents wooden wife.
  4. Nor be this marvel: hale are all,
  5. Well ye digest; no fears appal
  6. For household-arsons, heavy ruin,
  7. Plunderings impious, poison-brewin'
  8. Or other parlous case forlorn.
