When out moorfowl shootlng and feel
ing the weight of years begin to press
upon him, expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be bis lust and de
sired, In somewhat tragic style, that
he might die and be burled In the
moors.
Burns, hearing of this, Immediately
composed bis famous elegy, In which
he related at length the exploits and
skill of his hero, ending each verse
with the plaintive line, "Tam Sumsou's
dead." 1
Some one having told Samson that
Burns had written a poem "a gey
queer ane"-about him, he sent for the
poet and In something like wrnth asked
him to rend what he had written. On
hearing tho recital of Us exploits be
smiled grimly and seemed by no means
displeased. "But," he exclaimed, "I'm
no' dead yet, Itobln. Wherefore should
ye say that I'm dead 2" Burns retired
for a few minutes; then ho returned
and recited to Tam the following verse,
which he had composed In the Inter
