He is coming! he is coming! — Like a bridegroom from his room, Came the hero from his prison To the scaffold and the doom. There was glory on his forehead, There was lustre in his eye, And he never walked to battle More proudly than to die : There was colour in his visage, Though the cheeks of all were wan, And they marvelled as they saw him pass. - Page 50
And on his mailed hand, As he gazed around him wistfully, Leaning sorely on his brand. And none who then beheld him But straight were smote with fear, For a bolder and a sterner man Had never couched a spear. They knew so sad a messenger Some ghastly news must bring, And all of them were fathers, And their sons were with the king. - Page 18
That our family has suffered exile during these fifty-seven years, everybody knows. Has the nation, during that period of time, been the more happy and flourishing for it?

News of battle ! news of battle ! — hark ! 'tis ringing down the street : and the archways and the pavement bear the clang of hurrying feet. News of battle ! who hath brought it ? news of triumph ; who should bring tidings from our noble army, greetings from our gallant King? All last night we watched the beacons blazing on the hills afar, each one bearing, as it kindled, message of the opened war. - Page 13
It might not be. They placed him next Within the solemn hall, Where once the Scottish kings were throned Amidst their nobles all. But there was dust of vulgar feet On that polluted floor, And perjured traitors filled the place Where good men sate before. - Page 46
Strike! and drive the trembling rebels backwards o'er the stormy Forth; Let them tell their pale Convention how they fared within the North. Let them tell that Highland... - Page 114
Ay ! ye may look upon it — It was guarded well and long, By your brothers and your children, By the valiant and the strong. One by one they fell around it, As the archers laid them low, Grimly dying, still unconquered, With their faces to the foe. - Page 20
Tophet on earth, a soldier of distinguished courage and professional skill, but rapacious and profane, of violent temper and of obdurate heart, has left a name which, wherever the Scottish race is settled on the face of the globe, is mentioned with a peculiar energy of hatred. - Page 334
