Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect It is during the time'that we lived on this farm that my little story is most eventful. I was, at the beginning of this period, perhaps the most ungainly awkward boy in the parish - sno solitaire was less acquainted with the ways of the world. In my seventeenth year, to give my manners a brush, I went to a country dancing-school - My father had an unaccountable antipathy against these meetings, and my going was, what to this moment I repent, in opposition to his wishes. My father was subject to strong passions; from that instance of disobed1ence in me, he took a dislike to me, which, I believe, was one cause of the dissipation which marked my succeeding years. I say dissipation, comparatively with the Strictness, and sobriety, and regu larity of presbyterian country hfe; for though the will-o wisp meteors of thoughtless whim were almost the sole lights of my path, yet early ingrained piety, and virtue kept me several years afterwards within the hue of inno cence. The great misfortune of my life was to want an aim. I had felt early Some stirrings of-ambition, but they were the blind gropings of Homer's Cyclops round the walls of his cave. I saw my father's situation entailed on me perpetual labour The only two openings by which I could enter the temple of fortune, was the gate of nig gardly economy, or the path of little chicanin'g bargain makingz I' he first 13 so contracted an aperture, I never could squeeze myself into it, the last I always hated - m there was contamination in the very entrance. Thus a bandoned of'aim, or View in life, with a Strong appetite for sociability, as well from' native hilarity, as from a pride of observation and remark; a constitutional melancholy or hypochondriasm that made the fly solitude; add to these incentives to social life, my reputation for bookish know ledge, 11 certain wild logical talent, and strength of thought, something like the rudiments of good sense, and it will net seem surprising that I was generally a welcome guest where I visited, or any great Wonder that always where two or three met together, there was I among them.

Download or read book Poems and Lyrics written by John Young and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Lyrics: Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect IT is said that at one time not fewer than seven cities strove for the honour of having been Homer's birth-place. Now, although it is rather unlikely that, say half-a-century hence, as many parishes in auld Caledonia will arise, each claiming me for its son; still, being a man of peace, I am most desirous to prevent the barest possibility of such unseemly squabbles ever taking place on my account, and have resolved to inform my own age, at least, of the spot where I was born. This will serve a double purpose first, as a sort of Preface (to me always a great bore) to this my fourth volume; and second, it will satisfy the curiosity of a few patrons, who are longing for information on this very important point. Hear it, then, and be glad, thou winding Glazart, ye towering sheep-clad Hills, thou bonnie Glen, and far-famed Clachan, in whase Auld Kir I was kibsened. Hear it, I say, all of you, and be glad; for, though not coevals, we are caparishioners. Soberly, however, and not to be tediously exact, I was born in The Blue Raw, Milton of Campsie, Stirlingshire, on the 17th N ovem ber, 1825. My parents belonged to the agricultural class, and, in order to improve their condition, they, along with my bardship, then a shaveling of five years' growth', a younger brother, and a trifle of weel bain'd gear, removed from Campsie to the north-west quarter of Glasgow, where my worthy father began business as cow feeder, to which he subsequently added that of carter. And here I may observe that, until overtaken, through an accidental burning, by the physical debilities with which I am now, and ever must be, aflicted, viz., an all but total want of eye-sight, and a hand badly maimed, my chief occupation was that of a carter, although, when a youth, I for a short time blew the bellows and wielded the fore hammer to Burnewin, and afterwards wrought for a considerable period at boiler-making in one of our large city establishments. As to school education, my advantages were very favourable; but I grieve to say I did not avail myself of them as I ought to hose.
