Epitaph on My Own Friend By Robert Burns An honest man here lies at rest, As ever God with His image blest: The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warmed, Few heads with knowledge so informed: If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this. Funeral services are under the direction of Legacy Chapels in Edinburg.
