address to the toothache

y curse upon your veno&039;d stang,

that shoots y tortur&039;d gus ang,

an&039; thro&039; y g gies ony a ang,

wi&039; gnag venance,

tearg y nerves wi&039; bitter pang,

like rackg enges!

when fevers burn, or argues freezes,

rheuatics gnaw, or lics seezes,

our neibor&039;s sypathy can ease ,

wi&039; pityg oan;

but thee—thou hell o&039; a&039; diseases—

aye ocks our groan

adown y beard the svers trickle

i throw the wee stools o&039;er the ickle,

while round the fire the giglets keckle,

to see loup,

while, ravg ad, i wish a heckle

were their doup!

a&039; the nuro huan dools,

ill hairsts, daft bargas, cutty stools,

or worthy frien&039;s rak&039;d i&039; the ools,—

sad sight to see!

the tricks o&039; knaves, or fash o&039;fools,

thou bear&039;st the gree!

where&039;er that pce be priests ca&039; hell,

where a&039; the tones o&039; isery yell,

an&039; ranked pgues their nubers tell,

dreadfu&039; raw,

thou, toothache, surely bear&039;st the bell,

aang the a&039;!

o thou gri, ischief-akg chiel,

that gars the notes o&039; disrd seel,

till daft ankd aft dance a reel

gore, a shoe-thick,

gie a&039; the faes o&039; stnd&039;s weal

a townond&039;s toothache!
