And had the Stewarts oft aid deny’d.
The garrison therein was few,
Commanded by Andrew Agnew,
An old Scots Worthy, I well may say,
No better soldier was in’s day.
He could do more by wiles and flight,
Than those who were five hundred weight;
He did defend them in such ways,
The siege prolong’d for several days.
Till word reach’d the camp at Dunkeld
