IR NAMELESS, once of Athelhall, declared: "These wretched children romping in my park Trample the herbage till the soil is bared, And yap and yell from early morn till dark! Go keep them harnessed to their set routines: Thank God I've none to hasten my decay; For green remembrance there are better means Than offspring, who but wish their sires away."

Sir Nameless of that mansion said anon: "To be perpetuate for my mightiness Sculpture must image me when I am gone."
