NABOTH



Heaven records, but may not intervene:
As when king Ahab showed that he was bent
On gaining Naboth's vineyard, and the queen
Jezebel worked to further that intent.
 
Naboth, defiant to a tyrant's rage,
Said, as he scorned a tyrant's blandishment,
 
"I will not sell my fathers' heritage"



A view towards Edinburgh Castle from the south.
The square in Dalkeith Country Park in winter
