A KEFPOCH SONG.
Canto CfrirtJ*
Great Sumerleds, who did maiutain,
In days of old, the warlike strain;
Who bravely fought for Bad'noch ground,
And made the mountains echo round:
Unable Sax'n foe to restrain,
Your great endeavours nearly vain!
Be pleas'd to hear my humble lay,
Relate, alas ! the decline of day.
Th' name of Comyn almost no more,
Their desolate ruin I deplore;
With their fall'n state I sympathize,
And forget old animosities,
With new neighbour Huntly I do make
An alliance, and for its sake
D2
