A eunuch is a man who has had his work cut out for him.
Nae man can tether time or tide.
Now simmer blinks on flowery braes, And o'er the crystal streamlet plays.
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men, Gang aft a-gley, And leave us nought but grief and pain, For promised joy.
Misled by fancy's meteor ray, By passion driven; But yet the light that led astray Was light from heaven.
'T is sweeter for thee despairing Than aught in the world beside,-Jessy!
