A moth, I thogh, munching a word.
Digesting a mans sayings –A sneakthief nibbling in the shadowsAt the shape of a poet`s thunderous phrases –How unutterably strange!And the pilfering parasite none the wiserFor the words he has swallowed.
O Waly, waly, up the bank,
And waly, waly, yon burn-side,Where I and my love wer wont to gae!I lean’d my back unto an aik,I thocht it was a trustie tree,But first it bow’d and syne it brak’,-Sae my true love did lichtlie me.O waly, waly, but love be bonnieA little time while it is new!But when its auld it waxeth…

Aladdin poor the wizard found,
Then bade him go beneath the ground,And pace through unknown realms alone,Till from a niche he bore awayA lamp—extinguishing its ray.The youth obedient instant hied,When fruits luxuriant met his sight;The white were pearls in snowy pride,Diamonds the clear—of brilliant light;For red the rubies dazzling blazed,Whereof Aladdin gathered store;Then on the lamp in rapture gazed,And from…
