Epigram On A Country Laird, Poetry

The Bard of Ayrshire Epigram On A Country Laird, Poem

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.
