Achievement and Sudden Fame
While in Edinburgh, Burns made many close friends including Agnes “Nancy” McLehose, with whom he exchanged passionate letters, but was unable to consummate the relationship. Frustrated, he began to seduce her servant, Jenny Clow, who bore him a son. Turning to business, Burns befriended James Johnson, a fledgling music publisher, who asked him for help. The result was The Scots Musical Museum, a collection of traditional music of Scotland. Tired of the urban life, Burns settled on a farm at Ellisland in the summer of 1788 and finally married Jean Amour. The couple would ultimately have nine children, only three of whom survived infancy.
In 1791, however, Burns quit farming for good and moved his family to the nearby town of Dumfries. There he accepted the position of excise officer—essentially a tax collector—and continued to write and gather traditional Scottish songs. That year he published “Tam O’Shanter,” a slightly veiled autobiographical story of a ne’er-do-well farmer, which is now considered a masterpiece of narrative poetry. In 1793 he then contributed to publisher George Thomson’s A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs for the Voice. This work and The Scots Musical Museum make up the bulk of Burns’s poems and folk songs, including the well-known pieces “Auld Lang Syne,” “A Red, Red Rose” and “The Battle of Sherramuir.”
Later Years and Death
In his final three years, Burns sympathized with the French Revolution abroad and radical reform at home, neither of which was popular with many of his neighbors and friends. Never in good health, he had several bouts with illness, possibly attributed to a lifelong heart condition. On the morning of July 21, 1796, Burns died in Dumfries at age 37. The funeral took place on July 25, the same day his son Maxwell was born. A memorial edition of his poems was published to raise money for his wife and children.
Legacy
Burns was a man of great intellect and considered a pioneer of the Romantic movement. Many of the early founders of socialism and liberalism found inspiration in his works. Considered the national poet of Scotland, he is celebrated there and around the world every year on "Burns Night,” January 25. 

Conclusion



Although Burns was born and raised in Scotland, his bicultural Scottish and English literary identity can be seen through the balance he struck between utilizing both Scottish and English vocabulary. The lack of substantial changes needed for speakers of English to understand his pieces shows the influence English literature and culture played on his community despite having a strong Scottish oral tradition.
The “Dedication” for his 1787 edition of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect demonstrates this clearly, as no words were amended or glossed in the 2009 compilation of Burns’ works titled The Best Laid Schemes: Selected Poetry and Prose of Robert Burns. In this later version, however, “The Vision” features many Scottish words that are heavily glossed, and several stanzas have been removed. Still, without that gloss, it is still an arguably comprehensible poem for English speakers and readers. 
This comparison of multiple versions of Burns' writing demonstrates that once written down and published, preserving poetic tradition — and, more broadly, literary tradition — proves more feasible.
