Here's A Bottle

[DavidWW]

Here's A Bottle

Here's a bottle and an honest man!
What wad ye wish for mair, man?
Wha kens, before his life may end,
What his share may be o' care, man?

Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man!
Believe me, happiness is shy,
And comes not ay when sought, man!

Robert Burns 1759 - 1796

David great poem Rabbie Burns
He wrote so many that you never hear now.


Scotch Drink


1785
Type: Poem

Gie him strong drink until he wink,
That's sinking in despair;
An' liquor guid to fire his bluid,
That's prest wi' grief and care:
There let him bouse, an' deep carouse,
Wi' bumpers flowing o'er,
Till he forgets his loves or debts,
An' minds his griefs no more.
