- (1830-1902) a Scottish poet whose Poetic Gems were published in 1890. His poems show no skill or understanding of poetry but are very popular and funny as a result. An example is his Address to the Rev George Gilfillan:
“All hail to the Rev George Gilfillan of Dundee,He is the greatest preacher I did ever hear or see…He has written the life of Sir Walter Scott,And while he lives he will never be forgot,Nor when he is dead,Because by his admirers it will be often read.”威廉·麦格教授(William McGonagall):(1830-1902)是一位苏格兰诗人,其诗歌诗集于1890年出版。他的诗没有技巧或对诗歌的理解,但因此很受欢迎且很有趣。一个例子是他给乔治吉拉芬牧师的致辞:
