Hurrah for the Bonnets of Blue (Glasgow, 1829)/Pray Goody

by Kane O'Hara

PRAY GOODY

Pray Goody please to moderate the rancour of your tongue
Why flash those sparks of fury from your eyes?
Remember, when the judgment’s weak the prejudice is strong,
A stranger why will you despise?
Ply me, try me,
Prove, ere you deny me ;
If you cast me off, you’ll blast me
Never more to rise.
Pray, goody, &c.
