A FORGOTTEN BURNS POEM

DR.. Samuel Johnson's letter to the
Earl OF Chesterfield, one OF the class
les Of English literature now has a
companion-piece in a recently discov-
cred poem by Robert Burns, hitherto
unpublished. The poem was found in
the possession OF Mrs. John Moffatt
OF ST. Andrews, Scotland, and as told
in the preface by the poet it was com.
posed and presented to the noblemen
addressed, upon being called up from
the servants hall where he had been
sent to dine along with them, TO add
! TO the entertainment OF his company ~
The poet adds, "On presenting which
he put on his hat, turned on his heel
and ret.red"
There are 81 lines in the poem,
the closing part OF which is as fol-
lows:
I was not fit, It seems, to dine
With those fox-hunting heroes fine;
But only came 10 handy jests
Among Your Lordship's hopeful
guests.
There must be here some sad mis-
take

/ At a poor earls tax-paid seat!
No, die. my heart, ere such a shame
Descends on Robert Burns name.
/ The present age is often said to
have no reverence or respect for pc
etry, but not even the most purse
proud and ignorant Of our modern mil
/ lionaires would dream OF putting up
on one OF the smallest Of the minor
singers OF today such an affront al
! that Robert Burns resented more thar
a hundred years ago.
