Laugh and the World laughs with you
Sneeze and you Sneeze alone.
Far away we sprint at the Slightest hint
That we蜜桃直播檙e in a microbe zone
Joke and your friends will join You
Cough and They turn and Scoot
A germproof mask and a whisky flask
Are the objects of their pursuit

Ode to John Cotton, Esq., 7, Frederick Street, Edinburgh
Cunning concoctor if a mixture rare,
Who for life蜜桃直播檚 ills a solace doth prepare!
I praise your name for all that you have done,
To make the soldier蜜桃直播檚 lot a happy one
------------------
At once I haste to qualify the phrase-
Joy unalloyed ne蜜桃直播檈r comes the soldier蜜桃直播檚 ways.
The carking calls of duty seldom cease.
Always there comes some job to mar his peace.
---------------------
Within the limits of a mortal蜜桃直播檚 power,
You do your best to soothe my exile hour.
Your mixture bridges the estranging sea,
And brings Auld Reekie once more back to me
------------------------------------
City of snell East winds and West 蜜桃直播� end snobs,
Of profs and parsons, pubs and fat nabobs,
Of yore, when near you, I eschewed your shrine-
Distant three thousand miles, for you I pine.
-------------------------------------
Under your spell, clear in the blue smoke cloud,
Old college memories about me crowd.
Then life was gay and the world but a toy-
For us to play with, for us to enjoy.
---------------------------------
Visions of nights around a blazing pile-
What time your mixture did our cares beguile-
Rise yet again to cheer my homesick heart,
And cause war蜜桃直播檚 gloomy shadows to depart
----------------------------
Well. We蜜桃直播檙e at war, and what is worse we蜜桃直播檙e here,
In Greece the barren, Greece so devilish drear.
One thing I蜜桃直播檒l promise when we strike our camp,
And go by sea to Scotland, green and damp.
---------------------------
Not on the worthy do Heaven蜜桃直播檚 favours rain.
Often the best,-obscure, unseen remain.
Should I live through these days of doubt and fear,
One thing I蜜桃直播檒l do for Cotton, grown so dear.
--------------
We蜜桃直播檒l pass the hat round 蜜桃直播榤ong your devotees-
A numerous company, spread o蜜桃直播檈r seven seas-
We蜜桃直播檒l raise to you a statue , trig and neat,
Outside your shop at 7, Frederick Street.
