To instruct the Christian Religion And there a Colledge they did frame Which doth remain unto this very time And he that doth not believe me Must read Buchannan and he shall see Some other Authors I could give in But these are sufficient to them that 's not blind Some says they were not Scots to their Name But only Scots by Nation Yet Monks of Melross they were known Which then was in the Picts Kingdom Iohn Earl of Channerth sirnamed Scot To die without Succession was his unfortunate lot Brave Alexander the first a King both stout and good Iohn Earl of Channerth married with his royal blood

that read the Epistle at Rome He was in King Alexander the second 's Reign Thomas Lermont was first his man That was called the Rymer ever since then And if my Author doeth speak truth Mr. Michael was descended from Buckcleugh And if my Author ye would know Bishop Spotswoods Book these Scots do show How can these randy Liars then Make the Scots to be a start-up Clan Sure new start-ups themselves must be For ancient Families scorns to lie But for the Antiquity of the Scot There 's one thing I have almost sorgot Which is not worthy of nomination Yet to mark Antiquity life make relation In the second Session of King Davids Parliament There was a Statute made which is yet extant That no man should presume to buy or sell With Highland men or Scots of Ewsdale Yet Ewsdale was not near the Forrest Where brave Buckcleugh did dwell According to the old Proyerb They but fell from the Wains tail But when these Scots did bear that stile King David resided in Carlisle Without and infang they disturb'd his Court Which caus'd the King that Act set out Here I speak nought but truth all Men may note The very true Antiquity of the Name of Scot And now my versing Muse craves some repose And

Kenneth the third son to Malcolm the first a brave King and a good Iustitiar from the death of Kenneth the second which conquered the Picts to the reign of Kenneth the third we had nine Kings in Scotland I have set down particularly how long every Kings reign was in cumulo they reigned a hundred and nine years most of them although I have not expressed they were most of them killed in the Field being so possest with War on every side what by Denmark and Norway on the one side the Brittans and Saxons on the other side poor little Scotland had much to do to get her feet holden among them For in all that time of an hundred and nine years there was but one victorious Conquering Ptince which was King Gregory So that the Borders in these Lands in England aforesaid being sometimes under the command of the Scots and sometime of the English they became so Rude and Insolent that they would never be governed before Kenneth the third brought them under

obedience to the Crown of Scotland yet they were never under sole obedience till the Reign of Malcolm the third surnamed Canmor he dispatch'd them all and gave their Lands and Inheritance to others which were Loyal Subjects ANd now with sleep my Muse hath eas'd her brain I 'le turn my Stile to Rhyming Verse again King Kenneth the second that Prince of high renown He vanquish'd the Picts and Conquer'd their Crown In revenge of his Fathers death which basely they murther'd For which victorious Kenneth mow'd them down And annexed their Realm under Scotlands Crown The year of Grace he did their Crown annex Was in the eight hundred and thirty six Or in the fourty six I know not whether The Kingdoms they were joyn'd together Being the fourth or fourteenth year of his reign And ere the twentieth he did return To his Mother Earth from whence he came His Soul and Hope doth reach the sky His Fame to Titans rise did fly Donald the fifth succeeded his Brother then And lost as much as King Kenneth won A vitious odious King he play'd at swig Whilst he lost Scotland all to Striviling Bridge Yet at 's beginning he did come speed And vanquish'd his Enemies on the South-side Tweed The Picts that fled amongst the English-men Requested Osbridge and Ella two great Princes of England To move War against their Enemies in Scotland Both English Brittans Picts these Princes brought Which Donald vanquish'd at Iedburgh He was so insolent after his victory To the River of Tweed he came with his Army And two ships he took with Wine and Victuals rare And order'd every Souldier for to have their share King Donald was given to variosity and greed With lust of Body he could ne're be satisfied The whole Camp they had their Paramours And was full of Taverns of Bordels and Whoors They followed Carding Dycing and contentious trouble That each of them they did kill one another King Osbridge having Advertisement anone Rais'd a new Army and to the Scots he came And kill'd twenty thousand Men compleat Without Armour and all fast asleep That vile King was tane as has been said And in derision through the Countrey led At which time King Osbridge Conquer'd much land And that the South-parts of Scotland fand Assisted by the Brittans so that he Cauf'd Stirling Bridge the Marches for to be For Saxons Brittans and English-men In three Kings reigns they kept that Garison In Stirling Castle Osbridge did money coyn From which the Sterling Money had it's first name The Scots valu'd not the Land did belong to the Pict But the Lands of Albion Osbridge did afflict Ther 's Galloway and the Isle of Man Was Lands of Scotland since the first King Fergus came So was Kyle and Carrick all in haill Arron through Lennox with the netherward of Clidsdail The Mers and Tiviot-dail was Picts Lands And so was all the three Louthians So was Peebles Selkirk and Over-ward of Clidsdail Nithsdail and Annandail with the five Kirks of Eskdail Drunken Donald all these Lands did tyne But Gregorius Magnus recover'd them again From Gregories death to Kenneth the thirds reign The Borders obey'd neither God nor King Kenneth the third lov'd Deer both Red and Fellow Above all Princes since King Dornadilla Hunting was the Sport he liked best For all our South-parts was Wood and Forrest Except here and there a Summering Plain Into which his Keepers did remain MY Muse has been astray a certain time But now in case for to return again With the Name of Scot she 's minded to contain Because they are her worthy Noble Friends The year of Grace sixteen hundred and twenty nine Carlaverock was a Garison in that time Collonel Monro a German Souldier he Blockt up the Castle both by Land and Sea Into that Leigure I did remain In Cockburns Company I was a Souldier then And my chance was with my Command to pass To the English-side call'd Burgh under Bowness By fortune I fell in a Gentlemans companie Call'd Lancelot Scot who was most kind to me He shew'd me his Ancestors hail Did live into that Spot Since Carliste Walls were re-built By David King of Scots A Book he gave to me call'd Mr. Michaels Creed But never a word at that time I could read What he read to me I have it not forgot It was th' original of our South-countrey Scots He said that Book which he gave me Was of Mr. Michael Scots Historie Which History was never yet read through Nor never will for no Man dare it do Young Scholars have pickt out some thing From the Contents that dare not read within He carried me along into the Castle then And shew his written Book hanging on an Iron-pin His writing Pen did seem to me to be Of harden'd Mettal like Steil or Accumie The volumn of it did seem so large to me As the Book of Martyrs and Turks Historie Then in the Church he let me see A Stone where Mr. Michael Scot did ly I ask'd at him how that could appear Mr. Michael had been dead above five hundred year He shew'd me none durst bury under that Stone More than he had been dead few years agone For Mr. Michaels name does terrisie each one That vulgar people dare scarce look on the Stone And more it us'd to pay the Saxons a Fee For Strangers are desirous that Stone to see That Lancelot Scot he wearied not To shew me every thing And then incontinent to the Ale-house did return Where we had the other Cup and the other Can There was no cause of Feed Lancelot he said I was not a Gentleman That was not bred to read But to proceed he wearied not To shew the Original of the Border Scot He said that Book did let him understand How the Scots of Buckcleugh gain'd both Name and Land He said Gentlemen in Galloway by fate Had fallen at odds and a Riot did commit For in these days as he did say It was call'd Brigants that's now call'd Galloway Two valiant Lads of these Brigants Were censured to be gone Then to the South they took their way And arrived at Rankelburn At Rankelburn where they did come The Keeper was call'd Brydine They humbly then did him intreat For Meat Drink and Lodging The Keeper stood and then did look And saw them pretty men Immediatly grants their Request And to his House they came To wind a Horn they did not scorn In the loftiest degroe Which made the
