A Preein o Ulser Scots

The Muse Dismissed (Hugh Porter 1780–1839)

Be hush'd my Muse, ye ken the morn

Begins the shearing o' the corn,

Whar knuckles monie a risk maun run,

An' monie a trophy's lost an' won,

Whar sturdy boys wi' might and main

Shall camp, till wrists an' thumbs they strain,

While pithless, pantin' wi' the heat,

They bathe their weazen'd pelts in sweat

To gain a sprig o' fading fame,

Before they taste the dear-bought cream—

But bide ye there, my pens an' papers,

For I maun up, an' to my scrapers—

Yet, min', my lass— ye maun return

This very night we cut the churn.

I want hom tha nite tae me ma

an shea sae up da da

Poetry bi Robert Huddlestone (1814-1887) inscribed in a causey stane in Writers' Square, Belfast
