Poem by Robert Burns


Epigram on the Roads between Kilmarnock and Stewarton


I’m now arrived, thanks to the gods!
  	Thro’ pathways rough and muddy, –
A certain sign that making roads
  	Is not this people’s study.
And tho’ I’m not with scripture crammed,
  	I’m sure the bible says
That heedless sinners shall be damned
  	Unless they mend their ways.

1786
