...rs to glimpse on;
Smith, wi’ his sympathetic feeling,
An’ Reid, to common sense appealing.
Philosophers have fought and wrangled,
An’ meikle Greek an’ Latin mangled,
Till wi’ their logic-jargon tir’d,
And in the depth of science mir’d,
To common sense they now appeal,

...ossessed us; pity and love were forgot;
Covetous visions obsessed us; brother with brother fought.

Many a heart was broken straining at sweep and oar.
We roused Lake Marsh with a chorus, we dri...Read more of this...
