Montgomery quotes

  • Mr Robert Montgomery's genius [is] far too free and aspiring to be shackled by the rules of syntax† [His] readers must take such grammar as they can get and be thankful.

    -1st Baron
      'Robert Montgomery', in the Edinburgh Review,  Apr.

  • Come, gie's a sang, Montgomery cry'd, And lay your disputes a'aside; What signifies't for folks to chide For what's been done before them? Let Whig and Torya'agree, Whig and Tory,Whig and Tory, Whig and Tory a'agree To drop their whigmigmorum; Let Whig and Torya'agree To spend this night wi'mirth and glee, And cheerfu'sing, alang wi'me, The Reel o' Tullochgorum.

    -John Skinner
    'Tullochgorum', stanza1.
