song—willie chalmers
mr. chalmers, a gentleman in ayrshire, a particur friend of mine, asked me to write a poetic epistle to a young dy, his dulea. i had seen her, but was scarcely acquainted with her, and wrote as follows:—
wi' braw new branks in mickle pride,
and eke a braw new bre,
my pegasus i'm got astride,
and up parnassus pe;
whiles owre a bush wi' donwward crush,
the doited beastie stammers;
then up he gets, and off he sets,
for sake o' willie chalmers.
i doubt na, ss, that weel ken'd name
may cost a pair o' blushes;
i am rao yo
