"Some Passages from the life of Adam Blair"—
(Blair is a Scottish name),
What are they, but thy own good roads, M'Adam?
VII.
O! indefatigable labourer
In the paths of men! when thou shalt die, 'twill be
A mark of thy surpassing industry,
That of the monument, which men shall rear
Over thy most inestimable bone,
Thou didst thy very self lay the first stone!
