Epigram On A Country Laird,
epigram on a country laird,
not quite so wise as solomon.
bless jesus christ, o cardonessp,
with grateful, lifted eyes,
who taught that not the soul alone,
but body too shall rise;
for had he said “the soul alone
from death i will deliver,”
alas, alas! o cardoness,
then hadst thou lain for ever.
