Poem by Robert Burns


Sent to a Gentleman whom He had Offended


THE friend whom wild from wisdom’s way
  The fumes of wine infuriate send
(Not moony madness more astray)-
  Who but deplores that hapless friend?

Mine was th’ insensate frenzied part,
  Ah! why should I such scenes out-live?
Scenes so abhorrent to my heart!
  ‘Tis thine to pity and forgive.



Robert Burns
