Poem by Robert Burns

To Mr. Syme, with a Present of a Dozen of Porter

O, HAD the malt thy strength of mind,
  Or hops the flavour of thy wit,
‘Twere drink for first of human kind,
  A gift that e’en for Syme were fit.

"Jerusalem Tavern, Dumfries."

1. Their Groves O’ sweet Myrtle
2. The Bonnie Wee Thing
3. As Down the Burn They Took Their Way
4. Gala Water
5. Stay My Charmer
