Quote by Robert Burns
The great Creator to revereMust sure become the creature;B

The great Creator to revere
Must sure become the creature;
But still the preaching cant forbear,
And evn the rigid feature:
Yet neer with wits profane to range
Be complaisance extended;An atheist laughs a poor exchange
For deity offended. – Robert Burns
