United Kingdom, Poet September 29, 1734 – October, 28, 1788.
William Julius Mickle was a Scottish poet.
Ah! fraudful malice! how shall wisdom's care Escape the poison of thy gilded snare!
The present moment is our ain, The neist we never saw!
His very foot has music in 't As he comes up the stairs.
For there 's nae luck about the house, There 's nae luck at a'; There 's little pleasure in the house When our gudeman 's awa'.
