Explore "Epigrams against the Earl of Galloway" by Robert Burns on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What dost thou in that mansion fair? / Flit, Galloway, and find / Some narrow, dirty, dungeon cave, / The picture of thy mind.
No Stewart art thou, Galloway, / The Stewarts 'll were brave; / Besides, the Stewarts were but fools, / Not one of them a knave.
Bright ran thy line, O Galloway, / Thro' many a far-fam'd sire! / So ran the far-famed Roman way, / And ended in a mire.
Spare me thy vengeance, Galloway! / In quiet let me live: / I ask no kindness at thy hand, / For thou hast none to give.
