Epitaph on my own friend, and my father’s friend, William Muir in Tarbolton

The works of Robert Burns

Available for over a year

An honest man here lies at rest As e'er God with his image blest. The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of Age, and guide of Youth: Few hearts like his with virtue warm'd, Few heads with knowledge so inform'd: If there's another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this.
