"In the Border Country"
W. S. (William Shillinglaw) Crockett
His haurins are dozen'd, his een sair bedizen'd, And red round the lids as the gills o' a fish; His face is a' bladdit, his Sark-breest a' smaddit- And snuffie a picture as ony could wish.
"England in the Days of Old"
William Andrews
That must be the Sark!
