    And, faith, he'll prent it.

The editor sat in his sanctum, his countenance furrowed with

But he who loves his kind does, first and late,
A work too late for fame.

Now the summer's in prime
Wi' the flowers richly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
A' the moorlands perfuming.
To own dear native scenes
Let us journey together,
Where glad innocence reigns
'Mang the braes o' Balquhither.
