Rhyming Reply to a Note from Captain Riddell

by Robert Burns, 1789

Dear sir, at ony time or tide,
I'd rather sit wi' you than ride,
    Though 'twere wi' royal Geordie:
And trowth, your kindness, soon and late,
Aft gars me to mysel' look blate—
    The Lord in Heav'n reward ye!

R. BURNS.

ELLISLAND.
