    Actually a fella called Robert Ayton used those same lines in poetry about 200 years earlier than Burns

    Ah, I knew that one. I met a Scottish person once.

    This is the last line of a poem, everyone knows the first one, what poem is it?

    And that has made all the difference

    Right so

    Name the poem and the poet

    Grey brick upon brick,
    Declamatory bronze
    On sombre pedestals -
    O'Connell, Grattan, Moore -
    And the brewery tugs and the swans
    On the balustraded stream
    And the bare bones of a fanlight
    Over a hungry door
    And the air soft on the cheek
    And porter running from the taps
    With a head of yellow cream
    And Nelson on his pillar
    Watching his world collapse.
