Drumlanrig

  lines to john m'murdo, esq. of drumlanrig
  sent with some of the author's poems.
  o could i give thee india's wealth,
  as i this trifle send;
  because thy joy in both would be
  to share them with a friend.
  but golden sands did never grace
  the heliconian stream;
  then take what gold could never buy—
  an honest bard's esteem.
