But here my Muse her wing maun cour,
\nSic flights are far beyond her power;
\nTo sing how Nannie lap and flang,
\n(A souple jade she was and strang),
\nAnd how Tam stood, like ane bewitch’d,
\nAnd thought his very een enrich’d:
\nEven Satan glowr’d, and fidg’d fu’ fain,
\nAnd hotch’d and blew wi’ might and main:
\nTill first ae caper, syne anither,
\nTam tint his reason a thegither,
\nAnd roars out, “Weel done, Cutty-sark!”
\nAnd in an instant all was dark:
\nAnd scarcely had he Maggie rallied.
\nWhen out the hellish legion sallied.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
