Robert Burns - Epitaph On Holy WillieRobert Burns - Epitaph On Holy Willie
Work rating: Low


Here Holy Willie`s sair worn clay Taks up its last abode; His saul has ta`en some other way, I fear, the left-hand road. Stop! there he is, as sur`s a gun, Poor, silly body, see him; Nae wonder he`s as black`s the grun, Observe wha`s standing wi` him. Your brunstane devilship, I see, Has got him there before ye; But haud your nine-tail cat a wee, Till ance you`ve heard my story. Your pity I will not implore, For pity ye have nane; Justice, alas! has gi`en him o`er, And mercy`s day is gane. But hear me, Sir, deil as ye are, Look something to your credit; A coof like him wad stain your name, If it were kent ye did it.
