Poem by Robert Burns

Epigram on Said Occasion

O DEATH, hadst thou but spar’d his life
  Whom we, this day, lament!
We freely wad exchang’d the wife,
  And a’ been weel content.

Ev’n as he is, cauld in his graff,
  The swap we yet will do’t;
Take thou the carlin’s carcase add,
  Thou’se get the saul o’ boot.

1. Canst Thou Leave Me Thus?
2. Address to General Dumourier
3. O Wha is She that Lo’es Me?
4. As Down the Burn They Took Their Way
5. The Cardin’ O’t
