Autograph poem, unsigned, one page, 6 x 5.25. Scott pens three stanzas, in full: “If that it were suppose it should be so / Without forgetting either but or nor / Some not in vain together blindly go / Then only those forever I abhor / Not that indeed as some perchance may say / Indubitable reasons can be given / Yet when bright Phoebus gilds the golden day / Our thoughts ascend insensibly to heaven / If some there be that say, that is, if there / Be any who this truth do not deny / None for Parnassus height ere bade so fair / Or easier climbed the steep ascent than I.” Reverse bears a collector’s notation, in part, “Given me by Sir W. Scott at Abbotsford.” Intersecting folds, a small central tear, and clipped corners, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a photogravure portrait of Scott.
