To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'Tis not auld Scotia's doom tae dee Frae cauld neglectit, na tae see The banefu' hand o' calumny I,aid on her urns ; Fae she will ever live i' thee, Bold Rabbie Burns.
Sae now fareweel ! gie my respects To a' the muse-inspired elects, Wha living were the architects O' deathless sangs ; Their clearer wisdom aft reflects These deeper wrangs.
IF SHE SHOULD DIE.
If she should die — O most unhappy day!
I would call thee unhappy in my lay.
Though thou mightst not seem joyless on thy face.
Yet inwardl...y methinks mine eye could trace Something of sadness to thy own dismay.
Harp not on death, world-weary heart, I pray; 'Tis ill of thee. Let others only say: It pleaseth God. In me no joy hath place If she should die.
What skilful alchemist could then convey To life the love that lives in voiceless clay ?
Nothing of sweetness bred 'neath heaven's space, Nothing of woman nor of woman's grace, But to whose charms I fain would answer: nay!
If she should die.
LIZZIE.
O Life! that teemed with wondrous bliss, When Lizzie's hopes were young, Where are thy joys which seemed to kiss The days that lived unsung ?
