Out on your noise, We blasted wight,
That break me slumbers ilky night,
A grinding your tunes for very spite,
Through thick and thin:
You'd make Christian
Swear outright to hear your din.
There is ma music in your din,
With sic discord we begin,
Ye jar the very windows in:
WI tortured tune,
If murder be deadly sin,
You'll rue it soon.
Could ye but ken the pangs feel,
To lay and list your cursed squeal,
Ye wad ma grind another peal,
So harsh and deep,
But gang in pity to the dell,
And let me sleep.
To please the dei'l, old Orpheus played,
And for his wife in fd'ling paid;
On dolphin's tail Orion rode the pillows strip

Bath drew the oaks from hill to glade,
By dint of piping.
But ye wad do things greater still,
Your noise would drown water mill,
You'd scare the woods and split the hills,
Sac great your power,
And any mortal wight you'd kill in haitian hour.
But if ye heed ma prayer nor spell,
Nor Wilma stop that croaking yell,
For poor bard to sing or tell,
Or any boon,
I'll try if brick bats
Can't avail to change your tune.
