(Sole scion he in whom their line survived,)

With English feeling, and the deeper sense

Of filial duty, consecrates this tomb.


LOVE.

A BALLAD, BY THE ETTRICK SHEPHERD.

O, Love's a bitter thing to bide,

The lad that drees it's to be pitied;

It blinds to a' the warld beside,

And makes a body dilde and ditied;
