On The Death Of Robert Dundas, Esq., Of Arniston,
ruffian violence, distained with crimes,
rousie in these degee times,
view unsuspeg innoce a prey,
as guileful fraud points out the erring way:
while subtle litigation's pliant tongue
the life-blood equal sucks ht and wrong:
hark, injur'd want rets th' unlisten'd tale,
and much-wrong'd mis'ry pours the unpitied wail!
ye dark waste hills, ye brown unsightly pins,
genial ses, ye soothe my mournful strains:
ye tempests, rage! ye turbid torrents, roll!
ye suit the joyless tenor of my soul.
life's social haunts and pleasures i resign;
On The Death Of Robert Dundas, Esq., Of Arniston,(3/4)
