Montgomerie, Alexander: A Baxters bird, a bluiter beggar borne,
#1
Alexander Montgomerie
ca. 1545 - 1610


A Baxters bird, a bluiter beggar borne,
Ane ill heud huirsone lyk a barkit hyde,
A saulles swinger, sevintie tymes mensworne,
A peltrie pultron poyson'd up with pryde,

A treuthles tongue that turnes with eviry tyde,
A double deillar with dissait indeud,
A luiker bak whare he wes bund to byde,
A retrospicien whom the Lord outspeud,

A brybour baird that mekle baill hes breud,
Ane hypocrit, ane ydill atheist als,
A skurvie skybell for to be esheu'd,
A faithles, fekles, fingerles and fals,

A Turk that tint Tranent for the Tolbuith.
Quha reids this riddill, he is sharpe forsuith.
