To Dr. Maxwell
ON MISS JESSY STAIG'S RECOVERY

  

Burns Original

Standard English Translation

 

Maxwell, if merit here you crave,
That merit I deny:
You save fair Jessie from the grave! -
An angel could not die!

 

Maxwell, if merit here you crave,
That merit I deny:
You save fair Jessie from the grave! -
