By means of an old school-book, however, and a spell of close study, the difficulty was overcome, and the poet had soon the satisfaction of seeing several of his songs, " Jockie's far awa', " "The Braes o' Bedlay, " and others, become widely popular.
An amusing story of his early days is told by his friend, Hugh Mac- donald. Watson wrote " The Braes o' Bedlay " in order to gain favour with the lord of the manor. He took it to the "big house" and handed it in person to the great man. To his asto...nishment, however, the laird took the lovers' ramble described in the song literally, and instead of praising the poetry, threatened its author with a prosecution for trespass.
WALTER WATSON 165 The success of his fugitive pieces induced Watson to publish a small collection of his poems in 1808. It brought him reputation, but no profit, and further volumes put forth in 1823 and 1843 respectively merely increased his fame without mending his fortunes.
