[To the Duke of Queensberry]

[_]

[c. 1723]

Accept my Lord these honest Lays
that I have sowfd in Kathrines praise
and as they'r to her justly due
sae are a share of them to you
To you and to each noble mind
that waver not with ilka wind
Blaws frae the court like the slav'd Jouker
Wha sells good fame for filthy Lucre
while you and such as you my Lord
are by ilk gratefu heart adore'd
and well ye judge for alls a dream
without fair fame & Just esteem
which now are yours and still will prove
while Linton does his Nation love
