on sic a day6
of waiting on you6
on this side of6
have seen the day6
to the heart of6
within us above the6
i am just now6
the cherry and the6
and believe me to6
argue something within us6
for the west indies6
the first time i6
have not been able6

me the justice to6
glorious privilege of being6
the largest collection in6
the first half of6
in the opinion of6
of rogues in a6

i came to edinburgh6
in prose and verse6
that whatever might be6
i am here at6
a great character as6
at my bower door6
nicholson was a good6

publication of his poems6
had so strong an6
i have got the6
or the pathos of6
if i do not6
solitary whistle of the6
am afraid you will6
like the enthusiasm of6
i am beginning to6
and then the air6
way in which he6
never hear the loud6
parcel of rogues in6
telling me that he6
by one of the6
collection in the country6
written with a pencil6
to which he was6
i shall not be6
lest i should be6
to believe that my6
the tones of her6
a family of children6
of the curlew in6
gallant braw john highlandman6
do not mean the6
the way in which6
written on a window6
every now and then6
the glorious privilege of6
and very humble servant6
two or three months6
was first printed by6
a good bay mare6
to pay my respects6
legs of my elbow6
rank is but the6
of the passing accident6
i can assure you6
on the first day6
braw lads of galla6
this cultivated the latent6
for the honour of6
shut in eternal rest6

in the land of6
to get rid of6
some wild distant shore6
the ruins of lincluden6
