Whilk Donald got in word and deed,
With honours leaped upon his head.
The rober, too got his reward-
Stern Justice at him awfu‘ stared;
Guilt and remorse his bosom stung,
Hence he was tried, condemned, and hung.
Bauld Donald soon arrived at hame,
Paid aff his laird and ilka claim;
Mair o’ him ye’d tire to hear me tell,
But he was soon a laird himsel,
Yet ne‘er forgot the awfu‘ shock,
When his left hand lay on the block.

END OF DONALD AND HIS DOG.
