Sir,

Yours this moment I unseal, / And faith I'm gay and hearty! / To tell the truth and shame the deil, / I am as fou as Bartie: / But Foorsday, sir, my promise leal, / Expect me o' your partie, / If on a beastie I can speel, / Or hurl in a cartie.

Yours,

Robert Burns. / Mauchlin, Monday night, 10 o'clock.
