Jeannie's Bosom.
[This is a brief but emphatic burst of enthusiasm from Burns regarding his "bonnie Jean." It appears in the Museum to an old air communicated by the poet.]
Louis, what reck I by thee,
Or Geordie on his ocean?—
Dyvour, beggar loons to me—
I reign in Jeannie's bosom.
Let her crown my love her law,
An' in her breast enthrone me:
King and nations—swith, awa'!
Relf randies, I disown ye!
