Poet Analysis

First Line: WE CAM NA HERE TO VIEW YOUR WARKS
Last Line: YOUR BILLY SATAN SAIR US!
Subject(s): IRON & STEEL INDUSTRY;

We cam na here to view your warks,
In hopes to be mair wise,
But only, lest we gang to hell,
It may be nae surprise:
But when we tirl'd at your door
Your porter dought na hear us;
Sae may, shou'd we to Hell's yetts come,
Your billy Satan sair us!
