The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 5

He always however confessed one awful night with Burns, but only one. He would never give me the detail even in friendship, but answered me with, No, no, that cannot be detailed. But it was not his blame, poor fellow! He was led into it by a few scoundrels of Englishmen, who had made it up among them to entice our great lyrical poet (who so far outshone all their own countrymen) to degrade himself, and they effected it by leading him from one mis chief to another. But the aberration cost him dear both in health and spirits.
