Death Perhaps Death's biggest starring part is in the poem "Death and Doctor Hornbook": a chance meeting and conversation one night between Death and Burns who Ôwas na fu' but just had plenty!

Doctor Hornbook was one John Wilson, a local schoolmaster who supplemented his meagre salary as an unlicensed purveyor of potions with dubious healing properties. His coloured waters were supposed "miracle" cures for all ailments - but, according to Death were killing more than he was!
That's just a swatch o' Hornbook's way
Thus goes he on from day to day
Thus does he poison, kill an' slay,
An's weel pay'd for't
Yet stops 'me o my lawfu' prey,
Wi' his damn'd dirt!
Death and Dr Hornbook (January, 1785)
