Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,O, what a panic's in thy breastie!Thou need na start awa sae hastyWi bickering brattle!I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,Wi' murdering pattle.

Small, crafty, cowering, timorous little beast,O, what a panic is in your little breast!You need not start away so hastyWith argumentative chatter!I would be loath to run and chase you,With murdering plough-staff.
