Robert Burns - Song (Ae Fond Kiss)

I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy,

Naething could resist my Nancy:

•'ne'er blame' => no regret for liking her as she's irresistible => involuntary, obsessive love => coincides with typical Romantic view of compulsive love

•'Nancy' is the nickname for Agnes Maclehose

•'my' is a possessive pronoun, expresses longing and sense of entitlement => claiming ownership in a more spiritual way => patriarchy? => irony that she isn't actually his, hence their severance
