should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne!" listen to the music here > young robert's father encouraged his interest in literature and poetry and he became very highly educated for someone of his lowly class. as his work became well known throughout scotland he was feted by the gentry in edinburgh who had quickly recognised his unique talent. while admired by the upper classes robert burns was still the people's poet , his work was often written in his own ayrshire dialect and based on his experiences as a farmer. the poem " to a mouse " was written when he turned over a field mouse's nest with his plough share. this was the poem that contained the lines... but mousie thou art no thy lane, in proving foresight may be vain, the best laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft agley, an lea'e us nought but grief an' pain for promised joy. the famous american writer, john steinbeck , used this as the title of his work "of mice and men" and many more lines from robert burns' work have become part of everyday speech. one story that i like is that the mexican term for americans, "gringos" was picked up when they heard a us cavalry marching song, burns' " green grow the rashes o ". this could well be true because about eighty scots mercenaries were employed during the alamo. green grow the rashes, o green grow the rashes, o the sweetest hours that e'er i spent are spent amang the lasses, o" listen to the music here > robert burns was very much at one with nature and this was evident in much of his work. look at these lines from his epic poem tam o' shanter . "but pleasures are like poppies spread, you seize the flower its bloom is shed; or like the snow falls in the river, a moment white - then melts forever; or like the borealis race, that flit ere you can point their place; or like the rainbow's lovely form evanishing amid the storm." tam o' shanter (this painting is displayed on the ship, "cutty sark" at greenwich, london) "tam o' shanter, a tale" > read the whole poem, including a translation from the dialect "address to a haggis" > read the address to a haggis and its translation much of robert burns's poetry , like tam o' shanter , was written humourously about his own situations and experiences. this humour stands the test of time and it is as funny today as when it was written more than 200 years ago. living conditions were extremely harsh for the majority of the population and that burns was able to see humour in his situation at all makes his work even more special. another lesser known facet of his work was his bawdy poetry, the merry muses of caledonia , which was actually banned in the uk until 1964. in these more liberal times it does not seem quite so bad but it used just about every swear word known at the time and some that burns probably invented! burns could never have been accused of being perfect. he was both very handsome and very much a lady's man. his early life was a procession of affairs and he had at least three illegitimate offspring. he got in trouble with the church of scotland through his refusal to obey the moral code of the day. this led him to write poems about the hypocrisy of this situation like " holy willie's prayer ". eventually he married his " bonie jean " (jean armour) and finally settled down to raise a family. robert burns working life burns was born into farming but after a few years at the plough he got tired of the constant battle to scratch a living from the soil and he began to look for another way of making a living. his poetry had brought him some success. it had also allowed him to make some influential connections that he could now call upon. through these he managed to secure a job as an exciseman or gauger . (see robert burns exciseman ). this was a well paid job that let him support his family in a way that he had not been able in the past. it also offered a pension that would help with suppor
