Is narrative IS supposed to have been addressed by al
Highlander, who had followed MOntrose Throughout

Come hilher, Evan Cameron
Come, sand beside my knee
hear the river roaring down
Toward the winuy sea.
There's shouting on the mountain side,
There's war within the blast
Old faces look upon me,
Old forms 60 trODpnT past
] hear the pibrOch wailing
Amid the din Of fight,
And my dim spirit wakes again
Upon the verge OF night!
Twas that led the Highland host
Through wild LJch-ber's SHOWS,
What time the piaided clans came down
To battle with Monrose,
Pye told thee how the Southrons fell
Beneath the broad cIaymore,
And how u smo:e the Campbell clan
bJ IlNelpCug 81 ShhOTt'
I've told tLee how we swept Dundee,
And tanned the Lindsay's pride;
But never have | told thee yet
How the Great Marquis died
4 traitor sold him to his foes
o deed Of Gea0hlrss Shame
charg. thee, boy. if e'rr thou meet
Win one Of hrgvIa's name
Be il upon the mouulaiH's side
Or yet within tha glen,
Stand h. in martial gear alone,
Or backed by armed men
Face him, as thou wou.d-t lare the man
Who wrougrd thy sIre's renywn;
Rem mb.r Of what blood thou art,
And strike the caitjh down
They brought him 10 the Wa.ergate,
Hard bound with h~mpen span,
As though they held "A lion there,
And not a 'leuceless man.
They ret him high upon a cart
The haugman rode below
They drew his hands behind his back,
And barred his noble brow.
Then, as a hound is slipped from leash,
They cheered the common tlrOng,
And blew the uote win yell and shout,
Aud bads him pass along
ltwoud have made a brave mans heart
Grow sad and sick that day,
TO watch the keen malignant eyes
Benz down ON that array.
There stood the Wing wesr-country lords,

For n roar Ike thunder swept the street,
And hands were cenched at him
And Saxon soldier cried aloud,
Back, coward, from thy place
For seven long years thou hast not dared
