naldn of Slate, who died suddenly
at Bernera in Glenelg, NovrNovember 28th,
1746. in his Way to Edinburgh.
If Heav’n is pleas’dpleased, qnwhen Sinners cease to sin;
If Hell is pleas’dpleased, when Sinners enter in;
If Earth is pleas’dpleased, freed of a truckling Knave;
Then all are pleas’dpleased; MacDonald’s in his Grave!
