"I Murder hate by field and flood,
Tho' glory's name may screen us;
In wars at home I'll spend my blood,
Life-giving wars of Venus:
The deities that I adore
Are social Peace and Plenty;
I'm better pleased to make one more,
Than be the death of twenty."
-- from
Lines written on windows of the Globe Tavern, Dumfries
by Robert
Burns (b. 1759-01-25, d. 1796-07-21)
