Poem by Robert Burns


On Seeing the Hon. Wm. R. Maule of Panmure Driving away in His Fine and Elegant Phaeton on the Race Ground at Tinwald Downs, October, 1794


Thou Fool, in thy phaeton towering,
Art proud when that phaeton is prais’d?  
’Tis the pride of a Thief’s exhibition
When higher his pillory’s rais’d.

October 1794
