BURNS - EXTEMPORE by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: YE TRUE 'LOYAL NATIVES,' ATTEND TO MY SONG
Last Line: BUT WHERE IS YOUR SHIELD FROM THE DARTS OF CONTEMPT!
Ye true "Loyal Natives" attend to my song
In uproar and riot rejoice the night long;
From Envy and Hatred your corps is exempt,
But where is your shield from the darts of Contempt!
