Book III, Ch. 6.

Reading edition

‘No malice to dread, sir.’ From verse 3 of ‘My Ain Fireside.’

Words by Mrs. E. Hamilton

Nae falsehood to dread, nae malice to fear, But truth to delight me, and kindness to cheer; O' a' roads to pleasure that ever were tried, There's nane half so sure as one's own fireside. My ain fireside, my ain fireside, Oh sweet is the blink o' my ain fireside.
