<l>The ferox rins in ruch Loch Awe,</l>
<l>A weary cry frae ony toun;</l>
<l>The Spey, that lowps o'er linn an fa',</l>
<l>They praise a' ither streams abuin;</l>
<l>They boast their braes o' bonny Doon:</l>
<l>Gie me to hear the ringin reel,</l>
<l>Where shilfas sing an cushats cruin</l>
<l>Bi fair Tweedside, at Ashiesteel!</l>

The markup is oriented towards both presenting the original properties of a piece of literature
and expressing its structure. There is a wealth of converting and maintaining tools available.
