For he ne'er advanc'd
From the place he was ftanc'd,
Till no more to do there at a', man.
And nve ran, and they ran, &c.
So we all took the flight,
And Moubray the wright ;
But Letham the fmith was a bra' man,
For he took the gout,
Which truly was wit,
By judging it time to withdra', man.
And ive ran, and they ran, &c.
And trumpet M'Lean,
Whofe breeks were not clean,
Thro' misfortune he happen'd to fa' man,
thieving war he carried on againft the duke of Montroic,
who had as he alledged cheated him of a fmall feudal
eftate." Campbells Life of J. D. of Argyk. p. Z05.
The conduct of this gentleman (who, the hiftnrian
would not tell us, had a/Turned the furname of Campbell, his
own being prohibited by aft of parliament) was the more
farprifing as he had ever been remarked for courage and
activity. When delired by one of his own officers to go
and afiift his friends, he is reported to have faid, " If they
cannot do it without me, they cannot do it with me." It
is more than probable however that his interference would
have decided the fortune of that day in favour of his own
party. " He continued in arms for fome years after, and
committed great depredations in the mires of Dumbarton,
jnd Lenox, particularly on the duke of Montrofe's lands,
defeating feveral detachments lent to reduce him." Boyfe's
hfi/ioty of the Rebellion. He is in the number of thofe at-
tainted by parliament.
