# The New International Encyclopædia/Luzerne, Anne César de la

Edition of 1905. See also Anne-César, Chevalier de la Luzerne on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​LUZERNE, lụ′zârn′, Anne César de la (1741-91), A French diplomat. He was born in Paris, the brother of Cardinal Luzerne; entered the army at an early age, saw considerable active service, and for some time was an aide on the staff of Marshal Broglie, returning to civil life after reaching the rank of colonel of grenadiers. His diplomatic career began with his appointment in 1776 to the post of Envoy Extraordinary to Bavaria, where he conducted with great tact the negotiations connected with the succession of Maximilian Joseph to the electorate. His success on this mission led in 1779 to his being appointed to succeed Gérard (q.v.) as Minister to the United States. He arrived in Philadelphia in September. His method of treating with the Congress of the Federation was not that usually employed by diplomats. He understood from the start that body's lack of real power, and therefore dealt with the members individually, some of whom he is said to have had in his pay. He soon gained considerable influence, particularly with Robert R. Livingston, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and his intrigues while negotiations for peace were pending resulted in Congress sending instructions to its commissioners at Paris to be guided in their actions by the desires of the French Court. He returned to France in 1783, and from 1788 until his death represented France as Ambassador at London.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/The Summer Morn

THE SUMMER MORN.
Tune—"Push about the Jorum."
* This is by Burns. The following is what he wrote to Thomson regarding it in January, 1795:—"To wander a little from my first design, which was to give you a new song just hot from the mint, give me leave to squeeze in a clever anecdote of my Spring originality. Some years ago, when I was young and by no means the saint I am now, I was looking over, in company with a belle lettre friend, a magazine 'Ode to Spring,' when my friend fell foul of the recurrence of the same thoughts, and offered me a bet that it was impossible to produce an ode to Spring on an original plan. I accepted it, and pledged myself to bring in the verdant fields, the budding flowers, the crystal streams, the melody of the groves, and a love story into the bargain, and yet be original. Here follows the piece, and wrote to music too." Along with this composition, he forwarded Thomson his immortal ode, "A man's a man for a' that." The second stanza is quoted in Scott Douglas's 5 vol. edition (Vol. III., p. 17), with but one word changed in the last line.
When maukin bucks, at early f—ks,
In dewy glens are seen, sir,
When birds on boughs tak aff their m—ws,
Amang the leaves sae green, sir,
Latona's son looks liquorish on
Dame Nature's grand impetus,
Till his p—t—e rise, then westward flies,
To f—k old Madame Thetis.
Yon wandering rill, that marks the hill,
And glances o'er the brae, sir,
Slides by a bower, where mony a flower
Sheds fragrance on the day, sir.
There Damon lay with Silvia gay,
To love they thought nae crime, sir,
The wild birds sang, the echoes rang,
While Damon's a—e beat time, sir.
First wi' the thrush, he thrust and pushed,.
His p—t—e large and strong, sir,
The blackbird next, his tunefu' text,
Made him both bold and strong, sir.
The linnet's lay came then in play,
And the lark that soared aboon, sir,
Till Damon fierce, mistimed his a—e,
And spent quite out of tune, sir.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/They Took Me to the Holy Band

THEY TOOK ME TO THE HOLY BAND.
Tune—"Clout the Cauldron."
An old fragment.
They took me to the Holy Band,
For playing wi' my wife, sir,
And lang and sair they lectured me,
For leading sic a life, sir.
I answered in not many words,
"What deil needs a' this clatter?
As long as she could keep the grig,
I aye was f——g at her."
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/Wha'll Mow Me Now ?

WHA'LL MOW ME NOW?
Tune—"Coming through the Rye."
An old song.
O wha'll mow me now, my jo.
And wha'll mow me now,
A sodger with his bandileers
Has bang'd my belly fou.
O I hae tint my rosy cheek,
Likewise my waist sae sma',
O wae gae wi' the sodger loon,
The sodger did it a'.
And wha'll, &c.
For I maun thole the scornfu' sneer,
O mony a saucy queen.
When, curse upon her godly face,
Her c——'s as merry's mine.
And wha'll, &c.
Our dame holds up her wanton tail,
As oft as she down lies,
And yet misca's a young thing,
The trade if she but tries.
And wha'll, &c.
Our dame has aye her ain gudeman,
And f——s for glutton greed,
And yet misca's a poor thing,
That f——s for its bread.
And wha'll, &c.
Alack! sae sweet a tree as love,
Sae bitter fruit should bear,
Alas! that e'er a merry c—t,
Should draw so mony a tear.
And wha'll, &c.
But devil tak' the lousy loon,
Denies the bairn he got,
Or leaves the merry lass he lo'ed,
To wear a ragged coat.
And wha'll, &c.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/The Sodger Laddie

THE SODGER LADDIE.
Tune—"Sodger Laddie."
* This is the "tozie drab's" song in the "Jolly Beggars," found in every modern edition of the Poet's works.
I once was a maid, though I cannot tell when,
And still my delight is in proper young men;
Some one of a troop of dragoons was my daddie,
No wonder I'm fond of a sodger laddie.   Sing, lal de lal, &c.
The first of my loves was a swaggering blade,
To rattle the thundering drum was his trade;
His leg was so tight, and his cheek was so ruddy,
Transported I was with my sodger laddie.   Sing, lal de lal, &c.
But the godly old chaplain left him in the lurch,
The sword I forsook for the sake of the church;
He ventured the soul and I risked the body—
'Twas then I proved false to my sodger laddie.   Sing, lal de lal, &c.
Full soon I grew sick of my sanctified sot,
The regiment at large for a husband I got;
From the gilded spontoon to the fife I was ready,
I asked no more but a sodger laddie.   Sing, lal de lal, &c.
But the peace it reduced me to beg in despair,
Till I met my old boy at a Cunningham fair;
His rags regimental they fluttered so gaudy,
My heart it rejoiced at a sodger laddie.   Sing, lal de lal, &c.
And now I have lived—I know not how long,
And still I can join in a cup and a song;
But whilst with both hands I can hold the glass steady,
Here's to thee, my hero, my sodger laddie!
Sing, lal de lal, &c.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/Tweedmouth Town

TWEEDMOUTH TOWN.
An old song apparently of English origin.
Near Tweedmouth town there liv'd three maids, Who used to tope good ale; An' there likewise there liv'd three wives, Who sometimes wagged their tail; They often met to tope an' chat, An' tell odd tales of men; Cryin' when shall we meet again an' again, Cryin' when shall we meet again.
Not far from these there liv'd three widows, With complexions wan and pale, Who seldom used to tope an' bouse, An' seldom wagged their tail. They sigh'd, they pin'd, they griev'd, they whin'd, An' often did complain, Shall we, quo' they, ne'er sport or play, Nor wag our tails again an' again, Nor wag our tails again.
Nine northern lads with their Scots plads, By the Union, British call'd, All nine inch men, to a bousing came, Wi' their brawny backs I'm tald. They all agreed to cross the Tweed, An' ease them of their pain; They laid them all down, An' they f——d them all round, An' crossed the Tweed again an' again, An' crossed the Tweed again.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/We're a' Gaun Southie O

WE'RE A' GAUN SOUTHIE O.
Tune—"The Merry lads of Ayr."
An old song.
Callum cam to Campbell's court,
An' saw ye e'er the make o't;
Pay'd twenty shillings for a thing,
An' never got a straik o't.
We're a' gaun southie O.
We're a' gaun there;
An' we're a' gaun to Mauchline fair,
To sell our pickle hair.   Pay'd twenty shillings for a quine,
Her name was Kirsty Lauchlan;
But Callum took her by the c—t,
Before the laird o' Mauchline.   We're a', &c.
Callum cam to Kirsty's door,
Says, Kirsty are ye sleepin'?
No sae soun' as ye wad trow,
Ye'se get the thing ye're seekin'.   We're a', &c.
Callum had a peck o' meal,
Says Kirsty, will ye draik it?
She whippit aff her wee white coat,
An' birket at it nakit.   We're a', &c.
Bonie lassie, braw lassie,
Will ye hae a soger?
Then she took up her duddie sark,
An' he shot in his Roger.   We're a', &c.
Kind kimmer Kirsty,
I lo'e wi' a' my heart, O,
An' when there's ony p—t—s gaun,
She'll ay get a part, O.   We're a', &c.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/The Yellow, Yellow Yorlin'

THE YELLOW, YELLOW YORLIN'.
Tune—"Bonnie beds of roses," or rather "The Collier Laddie."
An old song.
It fell on a day, in the flow'ry month o' May,
All on a merry, merry morning,
I met a pretty maid, an' unto her I said,
I wad fain fin' your yellow, yellow yorlin'.
O no, young man, says she, you're a stranger to me,
An' I am my faither's darlin',
I am herding his ewes that's feedin' in the howes,
An' ye maunna touch my yellow, yellow yorlin'.
But if I lay you down upon the dewy ground,
You wad na be the waur ae farthin';
An' your faither, honest man, he never cou'd ken
That I play'd wi' your yellow, yellow yorlin'.
O fie, young man, says she, I pray you let me be,
I wad na for five pound sterling;
My mither wad gae mad, an' sae wad my dad,
If you play'd wi' my yellow, yellow yorlin'.
But I took her by the waist, an' laid her down in haste,
For a' her squakin' an' squalin';
The lassie soon grew tame, an' bade me come again
For to play wi' her yellow, yellow yorlin'.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/The Trogger

THE TROGGER.
Tune—"Gillicrankie."
* Anonymous; probably not older than Burns's time. Scott Douglas quotes a stanza of it in his 6 vol. edition (Vol. III., p. 247), and gives his opinion on the authorship of the song.
As I cam' down by Annan side,
Intending for the Border,
Amang the Scroggie banks and braes,
Wha met I but a trogger. He laid me down upon my back,
I thought he was but jokin',
Till he was in me to the hilts,
the deevil tak' sic troggin!
What could I say, what could I do,
bann'd and sair misca'd him, But whiltie-whaltie gaed his a—e
The mair that I forbade him;
He stell'd his foot against a stane,
And doubl'd ilka stroke in, Till I gaed daft amang his hands,
O the deevil tak' sic troggin!
Then up we raise, and took the road, And in by Ecclefechan,
Where the brandy-stoup we gart it clink,
And the strang-beer ream the quech in. Bedown the bents o' Bonshaw braes,
We took the partin' yokin';
But I've clawed a sairy c—t sin' syne, O the deevil tak' sic troggin!
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/There Cam' a Cadger

THERE CAM' A CADGER.
Tune—"Clout the Cauldron."
An old fragment.
There cam' a cadger out o' Fife,
I wat na how they ca'd him;
He play'd a trick to our gudewife, When fient a body bad him.   Fal lal. &c.
He took a lang thing stout and strang,
An' strack it at her gyvel;
An' aye she swore she fand the thing
Gae borin' by her nyvel.
Fal lal, &c.
# The Merry Muses of Caledonia/Wad Ye Do That?

WAD YE DO THAT?
Tune—"John Anderson, my jo."
An old song before Burns' s time.
Gudewife, when your gudeman's frae hame, Might I but be sae bauld,
As come into your bed-chamber,
When winter nights are cauld?
As come into your bed-chamber,
When nights are cauld and wat,
And lie down in your gudeman's stead,
Gudewife, wad ye do that?
Young man, if ye should be so kind,
When my gudeman's frae hame,
As come into my bed-chamber.
Where I am laid my lane.
And lie down in my gudeman's stead,
Young man, I'll tell you what,
He f——s me five times ilka night.
Young man, wad ye do that?

# The New International Encyclopædia/Gentianaceæ

Edition of 1906. See also Gentianaceae on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
GENTIANACEÆ, jen′shan-ā′sē̇-ē (Neo-Lat. nom. pl., from Lat. gentiana, gentian), the gentian family. An order of dicotyledonous plants, most of which are herbaceous, though a few are small shrubs. Many of the herbaceous species are perennial from a rhizome. The leaves are, for the most part, opposite, and without stipules. The inflorescence is some form of cyme, and the flowers are usually regular. The calyx is 5, sometimes 4, 6, 8, or 10 parted. The corolla, which is hypogynous, has the same number of lobes as the calyx. The stamens are of the same number as the corolla-lobes and the ovary, which consists of two carpels, and contains numerous small seeds. The family embraces about 60
genera and more than 700 species. Species of this order are found in nearly every part of the globe, and in all sorts of situations. Some are arctic and alpine plants, some are saprophytes, some grow in dry situations, others in marshes, while the species of one genus are aquatic in habit. The flowers of many are of great beauty both as to color and form, and some are cultivated as ornamentals. Medicinal properties are attributed to some. The genera of this order have been variously grouped dependent upon the characters used, one of the latest classifications being based upon pollen characters. The chief genera are: Gentiana, Erythræa, Chlora, Swertia, Menyanthes, Limnanthemum, and Voyria. See Buckbean; Gentian; Centaury.

He died in New York.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Gemünder, George

Edition of 1906. See also George Gemünder on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
GEMÜNDER, George (1816-99). A brother of August Gemünder (q.v.), born at Ingelfingen. He worked at violin-making in Germany and France, followed August to the New World in 1847, and settled in New York in 1852. His instruments took the first prize at the great English Exhibition of 1851. In 1873 his copy of a Guarnerius was pronounced by the jury of awards at the Vienna Exhibition to be a genuine instrument. He claimed as the secret of his success that he did not use chemicals in the preparation of his wood, but instead used it in its natural condition. His instruments were even finer than his brother's, and were beyond question the best violins ever made in the United States. He was the author of a book entitled George Gemünder's Progress in Violin-Making (Astoria, N. Y., 1881). His death occurred in New York.
