Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. Sewn as issued. Slightly creased. Unauthorised "Facsimile Reprint (120 Copies) September, 1970" (original 1970 edition limited to 120 copies, printed by Alan Anderson). "Not much is known of the poem's supposed author, Robert Sempill (or Semple) of Beltrees (1595?-1659)," writes the Burns schola…r G. Ross Roy: ". . . the only work for which he deserves to be remembered is 'The Piper' - a.k.a. "The Epitaph of Habbie Simpson, / Who on his drone bore bony flags; / He made his Cheeks as red as Crimson, / And babbed when, he blew the bags"; written c1640 and first published as a broadside, c1698. It revived a stanza form known as Standard Habbie which was taken up by Robert Fergusson and then, famously, by Robert Burns. "Like Fergusson," writes Roy, "Burns used the form for a variety of purposes: to celebrate a mouse, a mountain daisy, or a louse; he used it for epistles, including those to Lapraik and Ranking; he used it to welcome a bastard wean, or to destroy a Holy Willie; he used it to sing the praises of a haggis; even in its traditional use, as we see in 'Tam Samson's Elegy,' Burns proved time and again how thoroughly he had mastered the lessons he learned from the earlier Scots poetry.".
