 | | Gay visited him in Edinburgh, and Pope praised his pastoral--compliments which were undoubtedly responsible for some of Ramsay's unhappy poetic ventures seyond his Scots vernacular. | | | Nearly all the pieces were taken from the Bannatyne manuscript, though they are by no means verbatim copies. | | | It passed through several editions, and was performed at the theatre in Edinburgh; its title is still known in every corner of Scotland, even if it be no longer read. |

| | Ramsay is remembered as a Scots poet, but, like Fergusson, English language works play a role in his corpus. | | | Ramsay also develops the ‘Christis Kirk’ and ‘The Cherry and the Slae’ stanzas, further staples of Scottish literature, and so helps to lend to the Scots tradition an invaluable sense of continuity, and provides permanent classics of the canon. | | | Ramsay’s Easy Club provided a stimulating atmosphere which nurtured his poetic talents, and it was here that he was first encouraged to write in the Scots vernacular. |

| | That Ramsay, in publishing a work for the immediate use of his contemporaries, did not consult the taste or wishes of an age a century later, was certainly very natural; and though we may regret that the songs are lost, we cannot well see how the blame lies with him. | | | Ramsay, however, saved himself the trouble, leaving every one to find it out the best way he might, for he gave no explanations; and at the same time, to impress his readers with admiration of his great learning, he printed his motto, taken from Gawin Douglas, in Greek characters. | | | His father, Robert Ramsay, was manager of the lead mines in Crawfordmuir, belonging to the earl of Hopetoun; and his mother, Alice Bower, was the daughter of a gentleman who had been brought from Derbyshire, to introduce and oversee some improvements in the management of the mines. |

| | Allan Ramsay seems to have possessed, in a high degree, the reputed characteristics of his countrymen, prudent self-control, with a strong desire to acquire wealth, and unpoetic though it may sound, he is one of those few, who, combining poetic pursuits with those of business, realized a competency. | | | His father was manager of the Earl of Hopetoun's lead mines at Crawfordmoor, and his mother, Alice Brown, was the daughter of a gentleman, who had been brought from Derbyshire by Lord Hopetoun, to instruct the miners in their art. | | | His parentage was highly respectable-a zealous genealogist has even traced his pedigree up to the noble house of Ramsay, first Earls of Dalhousie, and of this the poet was very proud. |

| | As a man of the church, Ramsay was notable for his unsectarlan outlook; he consistently advocated (with eventual success), the removal of the barriers separating the Scottish Episcopalian and English churches, and his theological sympathies lay with the evangelical movement, rather than with the high church. | | | When she observed a carter ill-treating his horse, she would march up to him, tax him with cruelty, and, by the very earnestness of her remonstrances, arrest the barbarian’s hand. | | | March next to come, to that place of the common Muir of Dunfermline, called the witch Loan; and there betwixt the hours of two and four o'Clock afternoon of the said day to be hanged by the neck upon a gibbet, till he be dead. |

| | By 1720 Ramsay's interest in literature was such that he abandoned wigmaking and became a bookseller. | | | Ramsay wrote in both Scots and English but with markedly more success in the former. | | | His English poems owe too obvious a debt to Alexander Pope, whereas his verse in Scots did much to initiate the eighteenth century revival of Scottish vernacular poetry - later continued by Fergusson and Burns. |

| | The Scots painter Allan Ramsay (1713-1784), like many of his contemporaries, encountered Horace's Sabine villa first as a place of the imagination, the place outside which the poet encountered a wolf or found the pleasant hill that Pan exchanged for Arcadia's mountains. | | | The polymathic Ramsay talked empirical philosophy with David Hume, arranged for Camillo Paderni to supply plates for George Turnbull's A Treatise on Ancient Painting, and in the 1750s on the second of his four visits to Italy discussed antiquities and taste with Robert Adam and Giovanni Battista Piranesi. | | | In the text of his Enquiry, Ramsay took up two issues: where Horace's villa was, and what a contemporary visitor could see on the ground. |

| | In consequence of his enlightened and arousing conversation, he became a great favourite with their majesties, the queen being particularly pleased with him on account of his ability to converse in German, in which he had not a rival at court, save amongst her own domestics. | | | He then lived several years in Italy, amusing himself chiefly with literary pursuits. | | | The state nobles, and other public leaders of that time, were also fond of the conversation of Ramsay, who is said to have taken more pleasure in politics and literature than in his art, and wrote many pieces on controverted subjects, with the signature, "Investigator," which were ultimately collected into a volume. |

| | Ramsay manifested an aptitude for art from an early period, and at the age of twenty we find him in London studying under the Swedish painter Hans Huyssing, and at the St Martin's Lane Academy; and in 1736 he left for Rome, where he worked for three years under Solimena and Imperiali (Fernandi). | | | On his return he settled in Edinburgh; and, having attracted attention by his head of Forbes of Culloden and his full-length of the duke of Argyll, he removed to London, where he was patronized by the duke of Bridgewater. | | | This last-named work shows the influence of French art, an influence which helped greatly to form the practice of Ramsay, and which is even more clearly visible in. |

| | Even in his lifetime Ramsay was an acclaimed and successful writer, yet this poem attacks him for his intention to translate Horace. | | | Allan Ramsay (1686-1758), poet, song-collector and Edinburgh wig-maker, is today recognised (with Robert Fergusson and Robert Burns) as one of the great vernacular Scots poets of the eighteenth century, and as a vital figure in the revival of Scots poetry after the Reformation of 1560. | | | Translation of classical poetry was, in fact, a common task undertaken by eighteenth-century poets, and the influences of Horace and Virgil are clear in much of Ramsay's poetry. |
