Robert Burns,
Scotch Drink
(1785)
“ But when thou pours thy strong heart's blood,There thou shines chief. Food fills the wame, an' keeps us leevin; Tho' life's a gift no worth receivin, When heavy-dragg'd wi' pine an' grievin;But, oil'd by thee, The wheels o' life gae down-hill, scrievin,Wi' rattlin glee. ”
