Poem by Robert Burns

Inscribed on a Tavern Window

Thou Greybeard, old Wisdom, mayst boast of thy treasures;
  	Give me with young Folly to live:
I grant thee thy calm-blooded, time-settled pleasures;
  	But Folly has raptures to give.

1. It Is Na, Jean, Thy Bonnie Face
2. Sleep’st Thou, or Wak’st Thou
3. Eppie M’Nab
4. Mark Yonder Pomp
5. Farewell to Ballochmyle
