I have a small, leather-bound copy of "The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Burns", with an appreciation by Lord Rosebery, published in London in 1923. It also has a glossary which deciphers many of the words used in his poems, which are otherwise undecipherable. I would be happy to send it to you, if I could figure out how.

THE PARSON'S LOOKS
ReplyDeleteThat there is falsehood in his looks
I must and will deny;
They say their master is a knave---
And sure they do not lie.
This epigram was given in reply to a remark made by someone that he saw "falsehood in the very look of
a certain reverend gentleman".
