Poetical Inscription, for An Altar to Independence at Kerroughtree, the Seat of Mr Heron, written in summer 1795

The works of Robert Burns

Available for over a year

Thou, of an independent mind With soul resolv'd, with soul resigned; Prepar'd pow'rs proudest frown to brave, Who wilt not be, nor have a slave; Virtue alone who dost revere, Thy own reproach alone dost fear, Approach this shrine, and worship here.
