postcript my memory's no worth a preen; i had amaist fotten , ye bade me write you what they mean by this “new-light,” 'bout which our herds sae aft hae been maist like to fight. in days when mankind were but callans at grammar, logi' sic talents, they took nae pains their speech to balance, or rules to gie; but spak their thoughts in plain, braid lallans, like you or me. in thae auld times, they thought the moon, just like a sark, or pair o' shoon, wore by degrees, till her last roon gaed past their viewin; an' shortly after she was done they gat a new ane. this passed for certain, undisputed; it ne'er cam i' their heads to doubt it, till chiels gat up an' wad fute it, an' ca'd it wrang; an' muckle din there was about it, baith loud an' lang. some herds, weel learn'd upo' the beuk, wad threap auld folk the thing misteuk; for 'twas the auld moon turn'd a neuk an' out of' sight, an' bas-in to the leuk she grew mair bright. this was deny'd, it was affirm'd; the herds and hissels were alarm'd the rev'rend gray-beards rav'd an' storm'd, that beardless laddies should think they better wer inform'd, than their auld daddies. frae less to mair, it gaed to sticks; frae words an' aiths to clours an' nicks; an monie a fallow gat his licks, wi' hearty t; an' some, to learn them for their tricks, were hang'd an' brunt. this game lay'd in mony lands, an' auld-light caddies bure sids, that faith, the youook the sands wi' nimble shanks; till lairds forbad, by striands, sic bluidy pranks. but new-light herds gat sic a cowe, folk thought them ruin'd sti-stowe; till now, amaist on ev'ry knowe ye'll find ane plac'd; an' some their new-light fair avow, just quite barefac'd. nae doubt the auld-light flocks are bleatin; their zealous herds are vex'd an' sweatin; mysel', i've evehem greetin wi' girnin spite, to hear the moon sae sadly lied on by word an' write. but shortly they will cowe the louns! some auld-light herds in neebor touns are mind't, in things they ca' balloons, to tak a flight; an' stay ae month amang the moons ahem right. guid observation they will gie them; an' when the auld moon's gaun to lea'e them, the hindmaist shaird, they'll fetch it wi' them just i' their pouch; an' when the new-light billies see them, i think they'll crouch! sae, ye observe that a' this clatter is hing but a “moonshiter”; but tho' dull prose-folk latin splatter in logic tulyie, i hope we bardies ken some better than mind sic brulyie.
