HERE'S HIS HEALTH IN WATER by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALTHO' MY BACK BE AT THE WA'
Last Line: YET HERE'S HIS HEALTH IN WATER!
Altho' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
Altho' my back be at the wa',
Yet, here's his health in water.
O wae gae by his wanton sides,
Sae brawlie's he could flatter;
Till for his sake I'm slighted sair,
And dree the kintra clatter:
But tho' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
But tho' my back be at the wa',
Yet here's his health in water!
