To A Mouse, On Turning Her Up In Her Nest With The Plough, November, 1785
Robert Burns

Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murd'ring pattle!

( I'm truly sorry man's dominion, )
