Poems and Songs of Robert Burns

  epigram on rough roads
  i'm now arrived—thanks to the gods!—
  thro' pathways rough and muddy,
  a certain sign that makin roads
  is no this people's study:
  altho' im not wi' scripture cram'd,
  i'm sure the bible says
  that heedless sinners shall be damn'd,
  unless they mend their ways.
