inscription to miss jessy lewars

on a copy of the scots musical museum, in four volumes, presented to her by burns.

thine be the volumes, jessy fair,

and with them take the poet's prayer,

that fate may, in her fairest page,

with ev'ry kindliest, best presage

of future bliss, enroll thy name:

with native worth and spotless fame,
