Lines Written On A Window Of The Globe Tavern, Dumfries.

The greybeard, old Wisdom, may boast of his treasures,
    Give me with gay Folly to live;
I grant him his calm-blooded, time-settled pleasures,
    But Folly has raptures to give.

 Не хвастайся, дряхлый рассудок людской.
 Безумству - любовь и почет.
 Сулишь ты, рассудок, уют и покой.
 Безумство восторг нам дает!
