Thanks, Bruce! I'd lost my original scribbling and was relying on a forty year old memory, not always reliable (now what did I come into this room to pick up???). I thought that Murray's was the Burns text, minus the rolled plaid, and the one I scribbled down was the Clarke text as quoted by Stenhouse. Neither, of course, contain the words published in my "complete" Burns, Collins edition, 1955, which appear to be the words you offered above. As for me, I'm all for Mr. Clunie's contribution to the sum of the world's happiness.
