HERE'S HIS HEALTH IN WATER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Altho' my back be at the wa'
Last Line: Yet here's his health in water!


Altho' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
Altho' my back be at the wa',
Yet, here's his health in water.
O wae gae by his wanton sides,
Sae brawlie's he could flatter;
Till for his sake I'm slighted sair,
And dree the kintra clatter:
But tho' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
But tho' my back be at the wa',
Yet here's his health in water!
