To Major Rooke of Mansfield
From Poetical Works, ed. Walter Scott (1810), vol. III
Relationships
No gale unlucky may thy fortunes find,
Benign historian of the wayward wind!
But, when it rises with proverbial sway,
O! may it cast all fickleness away
On grateful wings, from blight, and tempest free,
Blow only good, from every point, to thee!
