Verse 14 of "The Cotter's Saturday Night"
The priest-like Father reads the sacred page,
How Abram was friend of God on high;
Or, Moses bade eternal warfare wage
With Amalek's ungracious progeny;
Or, how the royal Bard did groaning lye
Beneath the stroke of Heaven's avenging ire;
Or Job's pathetic plaint, and wailing cry;
Or rapt Isaiah's wild seraphic fire;
Or other Holy Seers that tune the sacred lyre.
John Faed painted a number of scenes from Robert Burns' poems, many of which were reproduced as prints.
