Incribed to Miss M. Lilly, of Whitehaven.
Drewry writes in a footnote to bars 15–16 (representing the haggis): “Obviously the common right-handed Haggis (Haggis Normalis), which lives mainly on Lilly leaves and neaps. It is quite distinct from the rare left-handed Haggis (Haggis Widdershinsia), which was last seen on the Witches’ Step in Arran.”
