Not illustrated. 1861 edition. Excerpt: ...Would nature impart, Were I but the lord of Thine innocent heart;. And 'neath fortune's malice I ne'er would repine, Wert thou, lovely Alice, 0 wert thou hut mine. JOHN TAMSON'S ADDRESS TO THE CLERGY IN SCOTLAND. Attend ye reverend gentlemen, Of a' denominations, For as ye are so guid yoursels, At gien exhortations; Ye'll surely hear me for a wee, While I ca' your attention, To twa three things nane but a frien Would ever think to mention. I would be very loath indeed, To vilify or wrong you, For there are high heroic souls, And christian men among you; I might speak pleasant words no doubt, The knave is always civil, But he's the man who speaks the truth, And shames the very Devil. i ( I'll tell you without mincing much, The things which have incensed me, And ye wha' fin the bonnet fit, Will first cry out against me; Now if the church we've loved so long, Is falling into ruin, Then let me whisper in your ear, 'Tis mostly your own doing.

Lang, lang in councils o' the state, He's dodged and he's dissembled, And-never absent night nor day, Frae Parliament assembled; He's even in the pulpit too, And turns the flattering sentence, And hauda your tongues when ye should ca' Fat sinners to repentance. He makes you turn in twenty ways, Yet aye stick to the strongest, And...
