Description

Quoted on title-page: "Now Nature's chang'd frae warm and green, To Blirty, cauld, and blae, And blythly Scotia's bairns conveen To haud their Hogmanae, The Muse, wha loes to cure the spleen, Now tunes a heartsome lay, Intent to sing what she has seen, And hail the New-Year's Day, When Friendship, Love and Joy their pleasing sounds convey."
