“'Tis strange,” said Donald, “should this breach
And foul defeat the throne not reach.
It would appear there is no blame
Attach'd to queen's or liegeman's name.
Therefore I judge it best at once
The daring outrage to renounce;
And prove it, swear it though they should,
Deny it all through fire and blood.”
