As each mischief follow’d another,

Things went to wreck just altogether,

Their parting was at Badenoch,

With wat’ry eyes and loud Och-hoch:

Their bag-pipes mournfully did rore,

And Piperoch Dhonail was no more.

This was a day of lamentation,

Made many brave men leave their nation.

Their eyes were open’d, all was vain,

Now grief and sorrow was their gain.
