no churchman am i
(robert burns)
i
no churchman am i for to rail and to write,
no statesman nor soldier to plot or to fight,
no sly man of business contriving a snare,
for a big-belly’d bottle’s the whole of my care.
ii
the peer i don’t envy, i give him his bow;
i scorn not the peasant, tho’ ever so low;
but a club of good fellows, like those that are here,
and a bottle like this, are my glory and care.
iii
here p-sses the squire on his brother-his horse;
there centum per centum, the cit with his purse;
but see you the crown how it waves in the air,
there a big-belly’d bottle still eases my care.
iv
the wife of my bosom, alas! she did die;
for sweet consolation to church i did fly;
i found that old solomon proved it fair,
that a big-belly’d bottle’s a cure for all care.
v
i once was persuaded a venture to make;
a letter inform’d me that all was to wreck;
but the pursy old landlord just waddl’d up stairs
with a glorious bottle that ended my cares.
vi
life’s cares they are comforts, a maxim laid down
by the bard, what d’ye call him, that wore the black gown;
and faith i agree with the old prig to a hair;
for a big-belly’d bottle’s a heaven o care.
a stanza added in a masonic lodge:
then fill up a b-mper and make it o’erflow,
and honours masonic prepare for to throw;
may every true brother of th’ comp-ss and square
have a big belly’d bottle when har-ssd with care.
in iii, the crown refers to a tavern sign in mauchline, sporting the motto
of sir j whiteford’s arms, “d’en haut”.
in vi, opening quote from young’s night thoughts.
tune: prepare, my dear brethern, to the tavern let’s fly (27)
