died,in the 49th Year of his Age, AlexrAlexander MaDonald
of Glenalladale
^in Moydart, a Man well known for being Proof
of the gilded Dust, when no despicable Quantity of it ^thereof
&and his own personal Safety, with that of his help-
less
Family, the weeping Mother &and the hungry
Babes, striptstripped of every Thingeverything, tempted his Accep-
tance
[]! — Firm to his Word, &and steady to
every Trust, his Soul was impregnable as a
Rock amidst all the Storms &and Tempests
this fluctuating State of things could dash
against him.
Let all the World say what they can,
Glen liv’dlived &and died the honest Man.
