There was no hopes he could get free.
Hesse camps, did at Perth and Stirling stand,
Armed militia through all the land,
And parties searching ev’ry isle:
Being heard of ev’ry other while,
They still kept on a close pursuing,
Hard was the hunt for Charlie’s ruin.
All prisoners, they catch’d, of note,
On ship-board were securely put,
And to England sent, trial to stand,
