epigram on a country laird,（1/1）

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.
