ploughman’.His attractive appearance and his gregarious temperament led him into a
life of dissipation and amorous complexity.In 1787 he met Mrs M’lehose, with whom
he corresponded at length in high-flown terms, addressing her as ‘Clarinda’, signing
himself ‘Sylvander’.He was encouraged to write in the rhetorical and sentimental
fashion of the day, and in this mode he wrote a great deal -‘The Lament’,
‘Despondency’, and ‘Address to Edinburgh’ are examples but fortunately his own
characteristic voice was not subdued.A second editionof the Poems appeared in 1786,
and Burns was asked if he would help to collect old Scopttish songs for The Scots
Musical Museum.He responded with an energy and enthusiasm that were to last until
his death.He collected, amended, and wrote some 200 songs, which include manyof his
best-known lyrics, such as ‘Auld Lang Syne’, ‘O my luve’s like a red, red rose’,’Ye
Banks and Braes’.In 1787 he travelled in the Highlands and the Borders, collecting
tunes and words, and contributed in1792 to Select Scottish Airs.For all this work he
took no money, regarding it as his patriotic duty.He did, however, continue to write and
publish work of his own.
In 1788 he finally married Jean Armour, and settled on a poor farm at Elisland, near
Dumfries.A year later he eventually secured a post as an Exise officer, and in 1791
relinguished his farming life with relief and moved to Dumfries.Farming had always
been a source of strainand anxiety to him, and he never, in Wordsworth’s
words,’walked in glory and in joy.Following his plough along the mountainside’.Also
in 1791 he published his last major poem,’Tam o’Shanter’.Turning against the French
at last, he joined the Dumfries Volunteers in 1795, dying the following year of
rheumatic heart disease.
Burns wrote with equal facility in correct 18th-cent.English and in his native Scots.
In some of his songs, most notably in ‘The Cotter’s Saturday Night’, English and Scots
are bothused.The Scottish poems owe much to Scottish song, to the early Scottish
poets, and to the 18th-cent.poet Fergusson.His songs, his satires, his animal poems,
and his verse-letters, together with his one narrative poem’Tam o’Shanter’ contain the
best of his work.His work was much admired by his contemporaries, and Lamb
declared that in his own youth’Burns was the god of my idolatory’.His popularity with
his fellow-countrymen is reflected in celebrations held all over the world on ‘Burns
Night’,25Jan.,his birthday.
