To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Muse shall there, wi' wat'ry e'e, Gie the dank swaird a tear for thee ; And Yarrow's genius, dowy dame ! Shall there forget her blood-stain'd stream, On thy sad grave to seek repose, Wha mourn 'd her fate, condol'd her woes. " Mr Hamilton of Bangour is sometimes mistaken for and identified with another poet of the same name, William Hamilton of Gilbertfield in Lanark- shire, a lieutenant in the navy, who was the friend and correspondent of Allan Ramsay, and the modernizer of Blind Harry's p...oem of Wallace. The composi- tions of this gentleman display much beauty, simplicity, and sweetness ; but he is neither so well known, nor entitled to be so, as the " Bard of Yarrow. " Mr Hamilton's private virtues were no less eminent than his poetical abilities. His piety, though fervent, was of that quiet and subdued cast that " does good by stealth, and blushes to find it fame. " His manners were accomplished in- deed so much so, as to earn for him the title of " the elegant and amiable Wil- liam Hamilton of Bangour.
