Utrum horum mavis accipe.

Sit or sit not, by Law or Sword,
Mack falls as flat as Council-board:
Maintain our Rights, stand fast together;
He hangs, runs, sights, e'en chuse him whether.
Triennial Laws with Resolution
Can cure that Plague of Dissolution.
Let Rowley know unto his Face,
If Law and Justice can't take place,
We'll quit the Land of Bothwell's Race.
