TORRYBURN.
On a drunken Cobbler.
Enclosed within this narrow stall
Lies one who was a friend to awl.
He saved bad soles from getting worse,
But damned his own without remorse.
And tho’ a drunken life he passed,
Yet saved his soul by mending at the last.
Forfarshire.
CUPAR.
William Rymour.
Through Christ, T’me not inferiour
To William the Conqueror.—Rom. 8, 37. (! !)
DUNDEE.
Walter Coupar, Tailor.
Kynd commorads! here Coupar’s corpse is laid,
Walter by name, and Tayleour to his trade,
Both kind and true, and stout and honest-hearted,
Condole with me that he so soon departed.
For, Tavou, he never weyl’d and sheer
Had better parts, nor he that’s bur’yd here.
