On receiving a Letter to be present at the Burial of Mr. Robert Alexander of Blackhouse.
Thou sable border'd Sheet be gone,
Harbour to thee I must refuse;
Sure thou canst Welcome find from none,
Who carries such ungrateful News.
Harbour to thee I must refuse;
Sure thou canst Welcome find from none,
Who carries such ungrateful News.
Who can attend thy mournful Tale,
And ward his Soul from piercing Woe?
In viewing thee, Grief must prevail,
And Tears from gushing Eyes o'erflow
And ward his Soul from piercing Woe?
In viewing thee, Grief must prevail,
And Tears from gushing Eyes o'erflow
From Eyes of all that knew the Man,
And in his Friendship had a Share;
Who all the World's Affections won,
By Vertues that all natural were.
And in his Friendship had a Share;
Who all the World's Affections won,
By Vertues that all natural were.
His Merits dazle, while we view,
His Goodness is a Theme so full,
The Muse wants Strength to pay what's due,
While Estimation prompts the Will.
His Goodness is a Theme so full,
The Muse wants Strength to pay what's due,
While Estimation prompts the Will.
But she endeavours to make known
To farest down Posterity,
That good BLACKHOUSE was such an one
As every one should wish to be.
To farest down Posterity,
That good BLACKHOUSE was such an one
As every one should wish to be.
