In memory of DAVID DICKSON a native of Leadhills
Who after escaping unhurt from many bloody conflicts in which he was engaged
both by sea and land in defence of his King and Country
Died in the Plane Asylum on the 11th June 1840 in the 84th year of his age
The following at his own request -
Tho’ boreas’ winds and Neptune’s waves have tossed me to and fro;
Yet here I lie by God’s decree at anchor here below.
I safely anchor’ here do rest
With most part of the fleet
But soon again we must set sail
Our Admiral Christ to meet.
