And remember , ladies and gentlemen , the poetry is only a fragment of Burns . Amazing as it may seem , all contemporary testimony is unanimous that the man was far more wonderful than his works . " It will be the misfortune of Burns's ...

We must remember that there is more than this to be said . Many of Burns's songs were already in existence in the lips and minds of the people — rough and coarse and obscene . Our benefactor takes them , and with a touch of inspired ...

And though , like all lives , it has its light and shade , remember that we know it all — the worst as well as the best . His was a soul bathed in crystal ; he hurried to avow everything . There was no reticence in him .

Some attempt to say that his intemperance was exaggerated . I neither affirm nor deny . It was not as a sot he drank ; that no one insinuated ; if he succumbed it was to good fellowship . Remember , I do not seek to palliate or excuse ...

Strana 67 - Is there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach the course to steer, Yet runs, himself, life's mad career, Wild as the wave ; Here pause — and, through the starting tear, Survey this grave.
Strana 101 - Guid faith he mauna fa' that ! For a' that, and a' that, Their dignities, and a' that, The pith o' sense, and pride o' worth, Are higher rank than a' that. Then let us pray that come it may, As come it will for a' that ; That sense and worth, o'er a' the earth, May bear the gree, and a' that. For a
Strana 100 - Wi' his last gasp his gab did gape ; Five tomahawks, wi' bluid red-rusted ; Five scimitars wi' murder crusted ; A garter, which a babe had strangled ; A knife, a father's throat had mangled, Whom his ain son o...

Strana 100 - Till roof and rafters a' did dirl.— Coffins stood round, like open presses; That shaw'd the dead in their last dresses; And by some devilish cantrip slight Each in its cauld hand held a light— By which heroic Tam was able To note upon the haly table, A murderer's banes in gibbet aims; Twa span-lang, wee unchristen'd bairns; A thief, new-cutted frae a rape, Wi' his last gasp his gab did gape; Five tomahawks, wi...
Strana 49 - For these two months I have not been able to lift a pen. My constitution and frame were, ab origine, blasted with a deep incurable taint of hypochondria, which poisons my existence.
