"For sure your head-piece is a mint / Whar wit's nae rare."
Metaphor in Context
I ne'er appear'd before in print,
But for your sake wou'd fain be in't,
E'en that I might my wishes hint
That you'd write mair;
For sure your head-piece is a mint
Whar wit's nae rare.
But for your sake wou'd fain be in't,
E'en that I might my wishes hint
That you'd write mair;
For sure your head-piece is a mint
Whar wit's nae rare.
