Epitaph on a Lady,
ALIKE FAMOUS FOR TATTLING, LYING, AND HYPOCRISY.
Now, Death! a nest-egg ye ha'e got
Nae greedy grub dare pree;
So she may lie a thousand years,
Yet ne'er corruption see.
Nae greedy grub dare pree;
So she may lie a thousand years,
Yet ne'er corruption see.
On her we've wared nae costly rites
O' the Egyptian nation;
The vip'rous venom o' her heart
Is special preparation.
O' the Egyptian nation;
The vip'rous venom o' her heart
Is special preparation.
Ne'er was a hapless clachan cursed
Wi' sic a pest, I ween;
For, since she's gane, some folk will threep
We've the millennium seen.
Wi' sic a pest, I ween;
For, since she's gane, some folk will threep
We've the millennium seen.
