If you'd make them feel "Big Pots,"
Then by all means call them "Scots."
If you'd make their tempers hottish,
You may coolly call them "Scottish."
But, if wise, be on the watch
That you _never_ call them _Scotch!_
True it is that BOBBY BURNS
Uses all these terms in turns.
(Such, at least, appears the boast
Of the northern _Yorkshire Post_.)
But if _you_ essay the three
You'll soon find you're not--R. B.
