Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM ROSS, WHERE THE CLOUDS ON BENLOMOND ARE SLEEPING
Last Line: THIS EVE, PLEASE THE FATES, AT DRUMLANRIG WE ANCHOR.
Subject(s): SCOTT, HENRY. 3D DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH;

FROM Ross, where the clouds on Benlomond are sleeping --
From Greenock, where Clyde to the Ocean is sweeping --
From Largs, where the Scots gave the Northmen a drilling --
From Ardrossan, whose harbour cost many a shilling --
From Old Cumnock, where beds are as hard as a plank, sir --
From a chop and green pease, and a chicken in Sanquhar,
This eve, please the Fates, at Drumlanrig we anchor.
