 | To the Memory of the right Honourable, Sir John Nisbet of Dirletoun |  |
Indemnis proprium servat sapientia censum,
nec gula quæsitas laxa vorabit opes.
Tanquam, jam partis moritu us utere rebus.
tanquam victurus, denuo parce tuis.
nec gula quæsitas laxa vorabit opes.
Tanquam, jam partis moritu us utere rebus.
tanquam victurus, denuo parce tuis.
N. Paterson.
