Here instead is a little poem by Stuart McLean

Bruce, the Best Man’s, Address to the Groom at His Wedding

Tune: Hey tutti taiti

Scot, wha hae wi' shavin’ bled,

Scot, wham is so easy led,

Welcome to yer wedding bed -

Oh such mysterie!

Now's the day, and now's the hour:

See the front o' battle lour,

See approach yer new bride’s mither -

Chains and slaverie!

Wha could be so bloody brave?

Married till ye meet the grave?

All yer life tae be a slave? -

Too late tae turn, and flee!

By yer wife’s woes and pains,

Ye’ll hae six screamin’, scroungin’ weans,

They’ll ensure yer bank book drains,

And ye shall ne’er be free!

Lay such horrid thoughts aside!

Long enough have ye cried!

Let us stand and toast the bride!

The drinks are all on me!
