 XVI. First entertained in royal state, By brilliant Duchess Gordon, Whose honored guests, in quiet ease Sat round in lengthy cordon.
 XVII. Their anxious faces all betrayed, A high appreciation Of every line and couplet, too, Through his recitation.
 XVIII. The duchess charmed with every word, And each gesticulation; Expressed to friends, in fervid terms, Her highest admiration.
 XIX. Thus feted by the rich and great, In Scotland's seat of learning, Kind friends bestowed the need of praise His cordial thanks returning.
 XX His modest bearing won the hearts Of all those in attendance; And yet his acts did not reveal A lack of independence.
 XXI. But conscious of his innate worth, And jealous of his honor, He bore himself with choice reserve, And simple, plain demeanor. XXIL The poet was of comedy mien, And rare in fascination; His friends were numbered by the score In every avocation.
 XXIIT. At Mossgiel, all with eagerness, Awaited his returning From Caledonia's capital, Where long he'd been sojourning.
 XXIV. His grateful heart bid friends adeu, Mid scenes of joy and pleasure; Returning to his Ayrshire home. With greetings beyond measure.

I. Immortal Burns! Inspired bard! Though born in humble station, His mind imbued with noble thoughts And ardent aspiration.
 II. His aged father owned no home, In which to rear his family; He leased the farm, Mount Oliphant, And lived awhile there, calmly.
 III. They all worked hard from morn till eve, To make scanty living, For parents, brothers, sisters three, With many @ dark misgiving.
 ". The land was poor, the struggle hard To get bare subsistence; The heartless factor made their lives A miserable existence.
 ". He toiled by day, and read by night, To get an education, And soon the lad in learning grew, By dint of application.
 VI. In after years they leased Mossgiel, With fair success accruing, Till failure of the crops ensued, Involving them in ruin.
 VII His leisure moments all were spent, In poesy and fiction; His subjects clothed in matchless style, His language choicest diction.
 VIII. Natures own poet was Robert Burns, As most his verse declare; "The Daisy,'' Mouse" "A Winter Night Likewise "The Wounded Hare"
 TX. When'ere he touched the trembling chord Of natures tuneful Tyre, He dressed the objects of his theme In beautiful attire.
 K At length resolved to quit the farm, And seek a place of learning, Where he might publish all his works With fair reward returning.
 XI. With fearful eye and heavy heart, He left dear ones repining, Assuring them Beyond the clouds The sun is brightly shining" To Edinburgh, alone, he went, Without a friend to meet him; A stranger in the capital, With no glad heart to greet him.
 XIII. First, Dr. Blacklock met the bard, In kindest recognition, Who made him known to Dr. Blair, So runs the old tradition.
 XIV. Then introduced to Earl Glencairn, By Orangef1eld Dalrymple, And Henry ErslSine soon he met In manner plain and simple.

She carried white orchids.
 "The diamond corsage ornament worn by the bride, a gift of MT. and Mrs. Hudson, was far more beautiful than most diamond corsage ornaments are. It was sort of tulle work, with large open diamonds, the latter perhaps 11a to 2 inches across, that went across the front of the corsage, the ends tapering down into smaller open diamonds or other shaped open spaces framed in diamonds, until the ornament tapered almost to a point. There was nothing stiff about it."
