GET SILLER GUDE NEIGHBORS.
Get siller, good neighbors, . ; As fast as ye can ; Yβ may say what ye like, But it's cash makes tbe man. Whaur there's plenty o , siller, There is nae want o , sense, Tho' your head were as dull As a post in a fence. Get siller, gude neighbors : : I'm sure it is fine ... To be counted a gent, A And be asked out to dine, "Where we boast of bur wealth, And our cent, per cent, gaias, Where it's reckoned quite vulgar To speak about brains. Get siller, good neighbors, And wear a lang beard, Like the birse on a sow, Or the teeth on a caird ; Talk plenty o' nonsense, My word! I'll engage Ye may say what ye like* And yell pass for a sage. Get siller, gude neighbors, By fou? means or fair, And the mair that ye get, Be the keener for mair ; It's a great consolation, And a comfort indeed, That it serves us sac weel For the want o' a heid.
