is starting
The letter B, poetry journey 2020. Burns is going to be fun — maybe. The first poem is very long & only semi-comprehensible and the key to the Scottish words is in the back of the book and very incomplete.

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o mice an men
Gang aft agley,
An lea’e us nought but grief an pain,
For promis’d joy!
Still, thou art blest, compar’d wi me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But Och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An forward, tho I canna see,
I guess an fear.

Some books are lies frae end to end,
And some great lies were never penn’d:
Ev’n ministers, they hae been kend,
In holy rapture,
A rousing whid at times to vend,
And nail’t wi Scripture.
