His poetry recorded and celebrated aspects of farm life, regional experience, traditional culture, class culture and distinctions, and religious practice. He is considered the national poet of Scotland. Although he did not set out to achieve that designation, he clearly and repeatedly expressed his wish to be called a Scots bard, to extol his native land in poetry and song, as he does in “The Answer”:

Ev’n thena wish (I mind its power)

A wish, that to my latest hour

Shall strongly heave my breast;

That I for poor auld Scotland’s sake

Some useful plan, or book could make,

Or sing a sang at least.

And perhaps he had an intimation that his “wish” had some basis in reality when he described his Edinburgh reception in a letter of December 7, 1786 to his friend Gavin Hamilton: “I am in a fair way of becoming as eminent as Thomas a Kempis or

<span> a. The opposers would spook the elephants so that they would stampede backward over the advancing army.

The Romans used lots of different tactics against the War Elephants that Hannibal used. These include, but are not limited to:

- Use of spikes: These can be made from wooden or other materials. They are made so that the pointed side is facing upwards, and would skewer the elephant's foot when it stepped on it, leading to stampede, and later disorder of the army.
- Land: The Romans, after they found out how Hannibal's plan, used a different approach, such as choosing lands that are easier to defend against the elephants, as well as maintaining strategic points to easily deflect war elephant attacks.


These are just a few other ways that the Romans used to defeat Hannibals war elephants.
