Buchan, Inglis, and Weſter-ball,
Balfour and others, great and ſmall.
Stenhouſe, Maitland, and Bolloch-mill,
Colzean and Windram, men of ſkill.
Crighton, Lauder, and many moe,
Who fought the hill-men's overthrow.
Halton, who did himself perjure,
To bring Mitchel to an ill hour,
Lowrie of Maxwelton also,
Unto these wild men was a foe.
And ſo was Craick of Stewarton,
Bailie, and these gave Smith his doom.
And all the Biſhops in the land,
Were ready ſtill at my command,
My ſtatutes for to execute
On all whom I did persecute.
Dumbarton, Bruce, and Rob Dalziel,
And other worthies I could tell,
As Ezekiel Montgomery,
The bloodieſt monſter that could be.
And that vile wretch call’d Sheriff Hume,
That was right worthy of his room.
An old tree-legged Duncan Grant,
Who of his wickedness did vaunt.
Eglinton, Irncaple, and Lord Roſs,
Who did the Whigs murder and toss,
From ſixty to the Revolution,
Imbrew'd their hands in persecution.
They murder'd and did ſtigmatize
Such as my ſervice did not please.
They baniſh'd them to foreign nations,
And ſold them to the new Plantations.
With rigour great they took their gear,
