"to a Mountain Daisy," "to a Haggis," "to a Louse," "to the Toothache," &c. and occasionally to his brother bards and lady or gentleman patrons, often with strokes of tenderest sensibility, idiopathic humor, and genuine poetic imagination still oftener with shrewd, original, sheeny, steel-flashes of wit, home-spun sense, or lance-blade puncturing.
There were strong contrasts in dress also: some wore the home-spun trousers of the settlement, a few the ornamented leggings of the hunter.

Perhaps the golden age of our nation will some day prove to have been the period of the home-spun Americans."
