Poet Analysis

First Line: MARS IS BRAW IN CRAMMASY
Last Line: THE HAILL CLANJAMFRIE!

MARS is braw in crammasy,
Venus in a green silk goun,
The auld mune shak's her gowden feathers,
Their starry talk's a wheen o' blethers,
Nane for thee a thochtie sparin',
Earth, thou bonnie broukit bairn!
-- @3But greet, an' in your tears ye'll droun
The haill clanjamfrie!@1
