Nell: A miserable resolution, Robin.

Burns: I discard it.

Nell: You whistled and I came to ye, my lad.

Burns: Love shall keep me company with John Barleycorn, Nell,

Until I’m on Parnassus Hill

And had of Helicon my fill.

Nell: You’re ice!

Burns: Then I’m a rogue. It was a spleen of Holy Willie’s begetting. Kiss me.

Nell: Are there kisses on the Parnassus Hill you talk of?

Burns: Immortal kisses.
