SngO Leave Nvels
song—o leave novels 注释标题 burns never published this poem. o leave novels, ye maue belles, ye're safer at your spinning-wheel; such witg books are baited hooks for rakish rooks, like rob mossgiel; your fiom jones and grandisons, they make your youthful fancies reel; they heat your brains, and fire your veins, and then you're prey for rob mossgiel. beware a tohat's smoothly hung, a heart that warmly seems to feel; that feeli but acts a part— 'tis rakish art in rob mossgiel. the frank address, the soft caress, are worse than poisoned darts of steel; the frank address, and politesse, are all finesse in rob mossgiel.
