His descrip- tion of a brawling rivulet, called in Scotland a bum, is admirable, and in point of poetic beauty and descriptive.- power, superior to a long poem. Tennyson writes on the same subject : — • Whiles ow'ere a linn the burnie plays, As through the glen it wimpl't Whiles round a rocky scar it strays, Whiles in a weil it dimpFt ; Whiles glittered to the nightly rays, Wi* bickering dancing dazzle, Whiles cockit underneath the braes.
Below the spreading hazel Unseen that night.
It was also
... a poet, and a true one, who wrote those lines so beautiful in their expressive, force, and so true. Here is the sort of trenchant power he brings to bear in finishing off a popular actor he saw at Edinburgh — Thou art awkward, stifi^ affected, Murdering nature, torturing art, Natural graces all rejected.

But it is as a song writer that Bums will live for ever.
Some one has said that Shakespeare is not more certainly tlie first of dramatists than Bums is the first of songsters, and this is true.
