To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' " It was the publication of The Queens Wake, however, which finally established Hogg's reputation as a poet. It took the world completely by surprise. Men wondered to hear a simple untaught shepherd sing so eloquently and so well. The general feeling was not inappropriately expressed by a Mr Dunlop, from Ettrick, who happened to meet the author in the High Street of Edinburgh a few days after the publi- cation of the book. " Your Queens Wake" he said, " has cheated me out of a night's sleep. ...Wha wad hae thocht that there was sae muckle in that sheep's head of yours ! " The plan of this poem is natural and simple. Queen Mary, who has recently landed on our shores, proclaims a Royal Wake, at which all minstrels, Highland and Lowland, are summoned to appear to contend with each other in poetical competition. His own appearance on this occasion provokes considerable merriment. The very sound of his name excites to laughter : " But when the bard himself appeared, The ladies smiled, the courtiers sneered, For such a simple air and mein Before a court had never been.
