A righteous man, dwelt in it; even me

Of worldly vanities), here I beheld,
Weary of angry thoughts and executions,
The tsar; among us, meditative, quiet
Here sat the Terrible; we motionless
Stood in his presence, while he talked with us

his gullet no more:
Let it out on the floor for the dry cock-a-roach--
And he held up his hammer with threatens to broach
Sir John in his castle without leave or law
And suck out his blood with a reed or a straw
Ere he'd soak at the swipes--and he turned him to start,
Till the host for high treason came down a full quart.

The elder Burns was a well-informed, silent, austere man, who endured
no idle gaiety, nor
indecorous
language: while he relaxed somewhat the
hard, stern creed of the Covenanting times, he enforced all the
work-day, as well as sabbath-day observances, which the Calvinistic
kirk requires, and scrupled at promiscuous dancing, as the staid of
our own day scruple at the waltz.

By thee though left in
solitude
to roam,
Yet can I mourn that thou hast found thy home,
On angel pinions borne, in bright career?

'Juno and the Peacock'

In

out his fan, this bird,
Whose plumage drags on earth, I fear,
Appears more lovely than before,
But makes his derriere appear.

now they fight in firmest file no more,
Hemmed in--cut off--cleft down and
trampled
o'er;
But each strikes singly--silently--and home,
And sinks outwearied rather than o'ercome--
His last faint quittance rendering with his breath,
Till the blade glimmers in the grasp of Death!
