Gudeen to you, Kimmer

Guid-mornin to your Majesty!

Guid speed an' furder to you, Johny

Had I a cave on some wild, distant shore
Had I the wyte, had I the wyte
Hail, Poesie! thou Nymph reserv'd!
Hail, thairm-inspirin', rattlin', Willie !
Hark! the mavis' evening sang
Has auld Kilmarnock seen the Deil?
Ha! whare ye gaun, ye crawlin ferlie!
Health to the Maxwells' vet'ran Chief!
Hear, Land o' Cakes, and brither Scots
He clenched his pamphlets in his fist
Hee balou! my sweet wee Donald
Heard ye o' the tree o' France
Her daddie forbad, her minnie forbad
Her flowing locks, the raven's wing
Here around the ingle bleezing
Here awa, there awa, wandering Willie
Here Brewer Gabriel's fire's extinct
Here cursing swearing Burton lies
Here's Holy Willie's sair-worn clay

[blocks in formation]

Here is the glen, and here the bower
Here lie Willie Michie's banes

Here lies a mock Marquis whose titles were
shamm'd

Here lies a rose, a budding rose

Here lies John Bushby, honest man

114

110

Kemble, thou cur'st my unbelief
Ken ye ought o' Captain Grose?
Kilmarnock Wabsters, fidge and claw
Kind Sir, I've read your paper through
Know thou, O stranger to the fame

Here lies Johnny Pigeon

109

Here lies now a prey to insulting neglect
Here souter Hood in Death does sleep
Here Stuarts once in glory reign'd

Lament him, Mauchline husbands a
Lament in rhyme, lament in prose

113

Landlady, count the lawin

Here, where the Scottish Muse immortal
lives •

Lass, when your mither is frae home

118

Last May a braw wooer cam down the lang

Here's a bottle and an honest friend! :

glen

Here's a health to them that's awa

96

Late crippl'd of an arm, and now a leg.

Here's to thy health, my bonnie lass

94

Let not woman e'er complain

He who of Rankine sang, lies stiff and dead

Let other Poets raise a Fracas

51

Hey, the dusty miller

101

Life ne'er exulted in so rich a prize

Honest Will's to heaven is gane

110

Like Esop's lion, Burns says, sore I feel

How can my poor heart be glad

71

How cold is that bosom which folly once
fired

64

Lone on the bleaky hills the straying flocks
Long life, my Lord, an' health be yours
Loud blaw the frosty breezes

How cruel are the parents

75

Louis, what reck I by thee

How daur ye ca' me howlet-faced

131

How lang and dreary is the night

72

How pleasant the banks of the clear-winding
Devon.

Musing on the roaring ocean

How shall I sing Drumlanrig's Grace

93

My blessings on ye, sonsie wife

How Wisdom and Folly meet, mix, and unite
Humid seal of soft affections

128

My bottle is my holy pool

84

My canty, witty, rhyming ploughman.

Husband, husband, cease your strife:

124

My Chloris, mark how green the groves
My curse upon thy venom'd stang

My Father was a Farmer upon the Carrick

I am my mammie's ae bairn

I burn, I burn, as when thro' ripen'd corn

132

My Harry was a gallant gay

I call no Goddess to inspire my strains.

67

My heart is a breaking, dear Tittie

I coft a stane o' haslock woo'

106

My heart is sair, I dare na tell

I do confess thou art sae fair

97

My heart is wae, and unco wae

If you gae up to yon hill-tap

I dream'd I lay where flowers were spring-
ing

48

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is
not here

131

My heart was ance as blythe and free.

If you rattle along like your mistress's
tongue

My honour'd Colonel, deep I feel

My lord, a hunting he is gane

I gaed a waefu' gate yestreen.

53

My Lord, I know your noble ear

I gaed up to Dunse

Igat your letter, winsome Willie

I hac a wife o' my ain

I hold it, Sir, my bounden duty

I lang hae thought, my youthfu' friend

Ilk care and fear when thou art near

I'll ay ca' in by yon town.

I married with a scolding wife

My lov'd, my honour'd, much respected
friend!

I mind it weel in early date

I murder hate by field or flood

I'm three times doubly o'er your debtor

In coming by the brig o' Dye

Inhuman man! curse on thy barb'rous art
In Mauchline there dwells six proper young
Belles.

In politics if thou wouldst mix

118

No more of your guests, be they titled or

113

not ·

47

No more of your titled acquaintances boast 108

103

No more, ye warblers of the wood-no more

43

No sculptur'd marble here, nor pompous lay

No song nor dance I bring from yon great

48

city

109

No Stewart art thon, Galloway:

The poor man weeps-here Gavin sleeps
There liv'd a lass in yonder dale
There lived a carle on Kellyburn braes

There's auld Rob Morris that wons in yon
glen

There's a youth in this city, it were a great
pity

There's braw braw lads on Yarrow braes
There's death in the cup-sae beware!
There's naething like the honest nappy!
There's news, lasses, news

There's nought but care on ev'ry han'

There was a bonie lass, and a bonie, bonie

lass

There was a lad was born at Kyle'

There was a lass, and she was fair
There was a lass, they ca'd her Meg

There was once a day, but old Time then
was young

There were five Carlins in the south

There were three Kings into the east

The simple Bard, rough at the rustic plough

The smiling spring comes in rejoicing

The Solemn League and Covenant
The sun had clos'd the winter day

The Tailor fell thro' the bed, thimbles an' a' 115

.

When biting Boreas, fell and doure
When by a generous public's kind acclaim
When chapman billies leave the street.
When chill November's surly blast
When death's dark stream I ferry o'er.
When, deceased, to the devil went
down.

When first I began for to sigh and to woo her 122
When first I came to Stewart Kyle
When first I saw fair Jeanie's face
When first my brave Johnnie lad
When Guilford good our Pilot stood
When I think on the happy days
When Januar' wind was blawing cauld
When lyart leaves bestrew the yird
When Nature her great masterpiece de-
sign'd.

When o'er the hill the eastern star
When rosy May comes in with flowers.
When the drums do beat.

When wild war's deadly blast was blawn
Where are the joys I have met in the
morning

Where, braving angry whiter's storms
Where Cart rins rowin to the sea

Where liv'd ye, my bonnie lass?

While at the stook, the shearers cowr.

While briers an' woodbines budding green.

While Europe's eye is fixed on mighty
things

While larks with little wing

103

What needs this din about the town
Lon'on

111

What of earls with whom ye have supt
What will I do gin my Hoggie die?
Wha will buy my troggin.

132

116

Thou's welcome, wean! mishanter fa' me
Thou whom chance may hither lead

Thou, who thy honour as thy God rever'st
Tho' women's minds like winter winds.
Through and through the inspired leaves
"Tis Friendship's pledge, my young, fair
friend.

To Riddel, much-lamented man

To thee, lov'd Nith, thy gladsome plains
True hearted was he, the sad swain o' the
Yarrow

Turn again, thou fair Eliza

'Twas even-the dewy fields were green

Whoe'er thou art, these lines now reading
Whom will you send to London town
Whose is that noble, dauntless brow?
Why am I loth to leave this earthly seene:
Why, why tell thy lover
113 Why, ye tenants of the lake

Wi' braw new branks in miekle pride
Willie Wastle dwalt on Tweed
Will ye go to the Indies, my Mary.
Wilt thou be my dearie?.
With Pegasus upon a day.

Wow, but your letter made me vauntie!

Ye banks, and braes, and streams around
Ye banks and braes o' bonie Doon.
Ye flowery banks o' bonie Doon
Ye gallants bright, I red you right

The Thames flows proudly to the sea
The tither morn.

The weary pund, the weary pund.
The wind blew hollow frae the hills

[blocks in formation]

Thou bed, in which I first began

Whoe'er he be that sojourns here.
Whoe'er thon art, O reader, know.

108

Thou flattering mark of friendship kind
Thou hast left me ever, Jamie

Thou lingering star, with less'ning ray
Thou of an independent mind.
