[A Poem to Mr. Drummond]
Scot worthy Scot when you departedsunk daylie till quite Broken hearted
he dropd his clay to take his Place
amongst the Best of Adams Race
to Pass a sweet Eternity
in friendship Smiles, & Hermony
of this we'r sure, since souls that Love
goodness and Justice mount above
Yet Drummond Lives, Long be his yeares
his Pleasures many few his cares:
from principles of friendship kind
youre frequent in his Social Mind
wha Langs in Kenedys to meet ye
and prompts the willing muse t'invite ye
that Rarely fails good will to shew
when askd by such as Him or you
Tho oft in Pet she droops the wing
when frost and snaw are taking leave
and Pleasures on the Sward revive
and now the Archers' Bosoms Glow
and wear the Bonnet & Bend the Bow
191
or in the field will joy afford
our wines are Good in nought weer Scanty
and for diversions we have Plenty
