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.
