"Tam O'Shanter" by Robert Burns is a narrative poem written in 1790. It follows Tam, a farmer who frequents the pub despite his wife's warnings, as he rides home drunk one stormy night. Passing a haunted church, he witnesses witches and warlocks dancing with the Devil himself. When Tam foolishly shouts at an attractive witch in a short shirt, the supernatural creatures chase him through the darkness. He must reach the safety of a bridge before they catch him, as witches cannot cross running water. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
