Eiden, the new-made king, beheld
The movements on the adverse field;
And cried, in firm commanding tone,
“Each Scottish leader, straight begone,
And range your clans these columns under,
For, lo, a storm is gathering yonder!
And, if maturely I foresee,
Dreadful the breaking out will be.
The movements on the adverse field;
And cried, in firm commanding tone,
“Each Scottish leader, straight begone,
And range your clans these columns under,
For, lo, a storm is gathering yonder!
And, if maturely I foresee,
Dreadful the breaking out will be.
