Sculking, lurking, here and there,

A prey to all like hounds on hare,

Though in times of prosperity,

He was extoll’d most gallantly.

Thus he no longer here could trust;

But to Cardail into South Uist,

He caus’d him to remove and go,

And did provide for him also

Bread, brandy, wine and clothes,

And such necess’ries as he chose.
