Poem by Robert Burns

Extempore. On Passing a Lady’s Carriage

If you rattle along like your mistress’s tongue,
  	Your speed will out-rival the dart:
But, a fly for your load, you’ll break down on the road,
  	If your stuff be as rotten’s her heart.

1. The Flowery Banks of Cree
2. Farewell, Thou Stream
3. The Day Returns
4. As Down the Burn They Took Their Way
5. Theniel Menzies’ Bonnie Mary
