Supper

Steepies for the barnie

Sae moolie in the mou':

Parritch for a strappan lad

To mak his beard grow.

Stovies for a muckle-man

To keep him stout and hale:

A noggin for the auld carl

To gar him sleep weel.

Bless the meat, and bless the drink,

And the hand that steers the pat:

And be guid to beggar-bodies

Whan they come to your yett.
