Robert Burns, To A Tim'rous Beastie

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'ing pattle!

-----Robert Burns, To a Mouse on Turning Her Up in Her Nest With a Plough
