TO MR. RENTON, BERWICK by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: YOUR BILLET, SIR, I GRANT RECEIPT
Last Line: AND TO HIS GOODNESS I COMMEND YE.
Subject(s): GRIEF; DEATH;
Your billet, Sir, I grant receipt;
Wi' you I'll canter ony gate,
Tho' 'twere a trip to yon blue warl',
Whare birkies march on burning marl:
Then, Sir, God willing, I'll attend ye,
And to his goodness I commend ye.
