Poem by Robert Burns

To Dr. Maxwell, on Miss Jessy Staig’s Recovery

MAXWELL, if merit here you crave,
  That merit I deny:
"You" save fair Jessy from the grave?
  An Angel could not die.

1. I Gaed a Waefu' Gate Yestreen
2. Gala Water
3. Blythe Was She
4. Stay My Charmer
5. The Banks of Nith (THE THAMES flows proudly to the sea)
