A summary history of Sir William Wallace : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1899?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed, January 1899'.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
First lines read: Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie, / I'm told he went to the High School in Dundee, / For to learn to read and write, / And after that he learned to fight. / While at the High School in Dundee, / The Provost's son with him did disagree, / Because Wallace he did wear a dirk, / He despised him like an ignorant stirk, / Which with indignation he keenly felt, / And told him it would become him better in his belt.
Wallace, William, Sir, -1305
