warlocks and witches in a dance.
nae cotillion brent new frae France,
but hornpipes, jigs, strathspeys, and reels,
put life and mettle in their heels.
a winnock-bunker in the east,
there sat auld Nick, in shape o’ beast.
a towzie tyke, black, grim, and large,
to gie them music was his charge:
he screw’d the pipes and gart them skirl,
till roof and rafters a’ did dirl.

- from "tam o'shanter" by robbie burns
