Nevertheless, it is styled a ' Clean-Steal. ' What next ? The facts are that Barns remodelled the first stanza of the ' Miller, ' and added thereon an entirely new verse. He did not sign it, and, in the notes to his poems, this information was given. Consequently, only the most superficial of Burns' admirers could view the Dusty Miller as ' an egg of genius that only Burns' mind could lay, ' and only the most malevolent of his critics could dub it a * Clean-Steal. ' There are minds which lay ot...her varieties of egg — the egg of innuendo, of misrepre- sentation, of suppression, of absolute untruth ! BEFOEE BUENS. O, the Dusty Miller, O the Dtisty Miller, Dusty was his coat. Dusty was his ciillour ; Dusty was the kiss I got frae the Miller ! Oh, the Dusty Miller wi' the dusty coat, He will spend a shilling ere he win a groat. O' the Dusty Miller, —Herd, MS, * * * * AFTER BURNS. Hey the dusty miller And his dusty coat ! He will spend a shilling Or he win a groat. Dusty was the coat. Dusty was the colour.
