Notes

  • Author's note: Inscribed to John Dunmore Lang
  • Epigraph: "Ken ye ought o' Doctor Lang?/ Igo et ago,/ If he's among his friends or foes?/ Iram, coram, dago/ Is he South, or is he North?/ Igo et ago,/ Or drowned in the River Forth?/ Iram, coram, dago./ Is he slain by Highland bodies?/ Igo et ago,/ And eaten like a wether-haggis?/ Iram, coram, dago." Robert Burns
