After 20 Jamieson introduced these two stanzas
of his own, "the idea of the rose being suggested by
the gentleman who recited, but who could not

And an angry laugh leugh he:,
The thorn that dabs, I'll cut it down,

Has lost its bloom wi thee;
And though I'm wae it should be sae,
Clerk Saunders, ye maun die.'
