Poem by Robert Burns

Epigram on Elphinstone’s Translation of Martial’s Epigrams

O thou whom Poetry abhors,
Whom Prose has turned out of doors,
Heard’st thou yon groan?-proceed no further,
’Twas laurel’d Martial calling murther.

1. I Gaed a Waefu' Gate Yestreen
2. Blythe Was She
3. Farewell to Ballochmyle
4. Farewell, Thou Stream
5. Stay My Charmer
