September 7th. Immediately after breakfast, we went to St. Justina's, a noble temple, designed by Palladio, and worthy of his reputation.
The ruin, which is close by the road, stands in the middle of the church-yard, and the first thing I saw, on going in the gate, was the tomb of the father of Burns.

His uncle observed in the church-yard that they must have had a fine ramble the day before; but did not say anything about pocket-money.

"What a sad picture!" said the doctor. "Well, it's true though," said I, "ain't it?"
