JOHN GOLDIE. 217 And ■yhetlier our heads be the flaxen or hoary, AVe'vc all wept and smiled o'er his pages by turns — In the magical power of liis wood-notes we'll glory, And hallow the day that gave birth to a Burns. " While conducting the Courier, Goldie became a member of the Ayrsliire corps of yeomanry. The following lines were writ- ten on that occasion : — " OFFER OF SERVICE, To the Quartermaster of the Ayrshire Yeomanry Cavalry, ' List, list — oh, list !' — Hamlet. Know ye, James Wathng,... * Quarteiinaster, I Nichol Nemo, poetaster, O' my freewill hae got to say, That I at Ayr this fourteenth day O' Mardff (a month jnst made to list in, ) My gray goosequill hae ta'en my fist in, To let you an' your Captain ken, Gif ye be scarce o' beasts or men, I hae a horse, or rather mare. An' in your ranks I should na care To mount her for a year or twa, Gif death an' skaith should spare us a'.
As for the beast, she's fit for duty, Though, like her master, nae great beauty ; Nae high-bred, mettled, spankin' blood, That skelps like lightnin' o'er tlie road ; Nor is she strong for cart or plcugh.
