  Inscription For The Headstone Of Fergusson The Poet 注释标题 The stone was erected at Burns' expenses in February—March, 1789.

  No sculptured marble here, nor pompous lay,

  “No storied urn nor animated bust;”

  This simple stone directs pale Scotia's way,

  To pour her sorrows o'er the Poet's dust.

  Additional Stanzas

  She mourns, sweet tuneful youth, thy hapless fate;

  Tho' all the powers of song thy fancy fired,

  Yet Luxury and Wealth lay by in state,

  And, thankless, starv'd what they so much admired.

  This tribute, with a tear, now gives

  A brother Bard—he can no more bestow:

  But dear to fame thy Song immortal lives,

  A nobler monument than Art can shew.

  Inscribed Under Fergusson's Portrait

  Curse on ungrateful man, that can be pleased,

  And yet can starve the author of the pleasure.

  O thou, my elder brother in misfortune,

  By far my elder brother in the Muses,

  With tears I pity thy unhappy fate!

  Why is the Bard unpitied by the world,

  Yet has so keen a relish of its pleasures? Poems and Songs of Robert Burns
