38 A KEPPOCH SONG. canto ii.
Bruce, who by this visit had seen
What large domains to me pertain,
Now thinks he must my power controul,
And make me feel a sovereign's rule.
I, therefore, with Hibernia renew
Mine ancient tie, by nuptial vow*.
Meanwhile the wheel of fortune turns,
Edward, Baliol to Scotland returns,
Who former leagues with me renews f,
And Bruce in war he quick pursues,
Who now to France is forc'd to flee;
But soon returns by fate's decree.
Baliol back to England must go,
Such rapid turns does fortune show.
David to's death as king is known,
The Stuart then ascends the throne;
Who now with me a league does make;
I for my spouse his daughter take:
* " Angus Moir's successor was also called Angus, being
married to a daughter of Okeyan Lord Dunseverin in Ire-
land."— William Buchanan of Auch mar's Enquiry into the Gc+
nealogy and present state of Ancient Scottish Surnames, pub-
lished in 1723, but which appears, by its contents, to have
been wrote prior to 1715. From his care and accuracy he
seems to have made personal inquiries.
