Explore "To John Kennedy, Dumfries House" by Robert Burns on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Now, Kennedy, if foot or horse / E'er bring you in by Mauchlin corse, / (Lord, man, there's lasses there wad force / A hermit's fancy; / An' down the gate in faith they're worse, / An' mair unchancy).
But as I'm sayin, please step to Dow's, / An' taste sic gear as Johnie brews, / Till some bit callan bring me news / That ye are there; / An' if we dinna hae a bouze, / I'se ne'er drink mair.
