(Robert Burns)<br />
<br />
O, wha will to Saint Stephen`s House,<br />
 To do our errands there, man?<br />
O, wha will to Saint Stephen`s House<br />
 O, th` merry lads of Ayr, man?<br />
Or will ye send a man-o-law?<br />
 Or will ye send a sodger?<br />
Or him wha led o`er Scotland a`<br />
 The meikle Ursa-Major?<br />
<br />
Come, will ye court a noble lord,<br />
 Or buy a score o` lairds, man?<br />
For Worth and Honour pawn their word.<br />
 Their vote shall be Glencaird`s, man.<br />
Ane gies them coin, ane gies them wine,<br />
 Anither gies them clatter;<br />
Anbank, wha guess`d the ladies` taste,<br />
 He gies a Fete Champetre.<br />
<br />
When Love and Beauty heard the news<br />
 The gay green-woods amang, man,<br />
Where, gathering flowers, and busking bowers,<br />
 They heard the blackbird`s sang, man:<br />
A vow, they seal`d it with a kiss,<br />
 Sir Polities to fetter:<br />
As their alone, the patent bliss,<br />
 To hold a Fete Champetre.<br />
<br />
Then mounted Mirth on gleesome wing,<br />
 O`er hill and dale she flew, man;<br />
Ilk wimpling burn, ilk crystal spring,<br />
 Ilk glen and shaw she knew, man<br />
She summon`d every social sprite,<br />
 That sports by wood or water,<br />
On th` bonie banks of Ayr to meet,<br />
 And keep this Fete Champetre.<br />
<br />
Cauld Boreas, wi his boisterous crew<br />
 Were bound to stakes like kye, man;<br />
And Cynthia`s ear, o silver fu,<br />
 Clamb up the starry sky, man:<br />
Reflected beams dwell in the streams,<br />
 Or down the current shatter;<br />
The western breeze steals through the trees<br />
 To view this Fete Champetre.<br />
<br />
How many a robe sae gaily floats,<br />
 What sparkling jewels glance, man,<br />
To harmony`s enchanting notes,<br />
 As moves the mazy dance, man!<br />
The echoing wood, the winding flood,<br />
 Like Paradise did glitter,<br />
When angels met at Adam`s yett<br />
 To hold their Fete Champetre.<br />
<br />
When Politics came there, to mix<br />
 And make his ether-stane, man,<br />
He circled round the magic ground,<br />
 But entrance found he nane, man:<br />
He blush`d for shame, he quat his name,<br />
 Forswore it, every letter,<br />
Wi humble prayer to join and share<br />
 This festive Fete Champetre.<br />

FETE CHAMPETRE
(Robert Burns)

O, wha will to Saint Stephen`s House,
To do our errands there, man?
O, wha will to Saint Stephen`s House
O, th` merry lads of Ayr, man?
Or will ye send a man-o-law?
Or will ye send a sodger?
Or him wha led o`er Scotland a`
The meikle Ursa-Major?

Come, will ye court a noble lord,
Or buy a score o` lairds, man?
For Worth and Honour pawn their word.
Their vote shall be Glencaird`s, man.
Ane gies them coin, ane gies them wine,
Anither gies them clatter;
Anbank, wha guess`d the ladies` taste,
He gies a Fete Champetre.

When Love and Beauty heard the news
The gay green-woods amang, man,
Where, gathering flowers, and busking bowers,
They heard the blackbird`s sang, man:
A vow, they seal`d it with a kiss,
Sir Polities to fetter:
As their alone, the patent bliss,
To hold a Fete Champetre.

Then mounted Mirth on gleesome wing,
O`er hill and dale she flew, man;
Ilk wimpling burn, ilk crystal spring,
Ilk glen and shaw she knew, man
She summon`d every social sprite,
That sports by wood or water,
On th` bonie banks of Ayr to meet,
And keep this Fete Champetre.

Cauld Boreas, wi his boisterous crew
Were bound to stakes like kye, man;
And Cynthia`s ear, o silver fu,
Clamb up the starry sky, man:
Reflected beams dwell in the streams,
Or down the current shatter;
The western breeze steals through the trees
To view this Fete Champetre.

How many a robe sae gaily floats,
What sparkling jewels glance, man,
To harmony`s enchanting notes,
As moves the mazy dance, man!
The echoing wood, the winding flood,
Like Paradise did glitter,
When angels met at Adam`s yett
To hold their Fete Champetre.

When Politics came there, to mix
And make his ether-stane, man,
He circled round the magic ground,
But entrance found he nane, man:
He blush`d for shame, he quat his name,
Forswore it, every letter,
Wi humble prayer to join and share
This festive Fete Champetre.
