EXTEMPORANEOUS EFFUSION by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: SEARCHING AULD WIVES' BARRELS
Last Line: WAD MUVE THE VERY HEARTS O' STANES!

Searching auld wives' barrels,
Ochon the day!
That clarty barm should stain my laurels:
But -- what'll ye say?
These movin' things ca'd wives an' weans,
Wad muve the very hearts o' stanes!
