Explore "Complimentary Epigram on Maria Riddell" by Robert Burns on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"Praise Woman still," his lordship roars, / "Deserv'd or not, no matter? " / But thee, whom all my soul adores, / Ev'n Flattery cannot flatter:
Maria, all my thought and dream, / Inspires my vocal shell; / The more I praise my lovely theme, / The more the truth I tell.
