It 's guid to be merry and wise, It 's guid to be honest and true, It 's guid to support Caledonia's cause, And bide by the buff and the blue.
Prudent, cautious self-control is wisdom's root.
Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.
Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss.
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure Thrill the deepest notes of woe.
