Allan Ramsay (poet)

“For when I dinna clearly see,I always own I dinna ken,And that's the way with wisest men.”

“You have sae saft a voice and slid a tongue,You are the darling of baith auld and young.”

“A dish of married love right soon grows cauld.”

“A bleezing ingle, and a clean hearthstane.”

“Let fowk bode weel, and strive to do their best;Nae mair's required—let Heaven make out the rest.”
