423. Epigram on the Laird of Laggan

© Robert Burns

WHEN Morine, deceas’d, to the Devil went down,
’Twas nothing would serve him but Satan’s own crown;
“Thy fool’s head,” quoth Satan, “that crown shall wear never,
I grant thou’rt as wicked, but not quite so clever.”

279. Epigram on Francis Grose the Antiquary

© Robert Burns

THE DEVIL got notice that Grose was a-dying
So whip! at the summons, old Satan came flying;
But when he approached where poor Francis lay moaning,
And saw each bed-post with its burthen a-groaning,
Astonish’d, confounded, cries Satan—“By G—,
I’ll want him, ere I take such a damnable load!”

But, sir, this pleas’d them warst of a’,
An’ therefore, Tam, when that I saw,

On my oppression.
