"Led by their doughty gen'ral's skill
"From frith to frith, from hill to hill.
"Is thus thy haughty promise paid
"That to the Chevalier was made, 70
"When thou didst oaths and duty barter
"For dukedom, gen'ralship, and garter?
"Three moons thy Jemmy shall command
"With Highland sceptre in his hand,
"Too good for his pretended birth,— 75
"Then down shall fall the King of Perth.
"'Tis so decreed; for George shall reign,
"And traitors be forsworn in vain;
"Heav'n shall for ever on him smile,
"And bless him still with an Argyle; 80
"While thou pursu'd by vengeful foes,
"Condemn'd to barren rocks and snows,
"And hinder'd passing Inverlocky,
"Shall burn thy clan and curse poor Jocky." 84
