[CHAP. IX.]

Kings Army pass the Spey. Battle of Culloden. Defeat of the Rebels, &c.

Upon the eight day of April,

When air and season sweet did smile,

Duke William then began to move,

The time and season to improve;

Towards the Spey he did approach,

By wary steps and easy voy’ge:

His fleet on sea no faster steer’d,

Than he upon the land appear’d,
