But found it was too hard to do;

Being surrounded by the way,

And forc’d their arms down to lay,

They prisoners of war were made,

Or with them list, they freedom had;

And, Swethenham of Guise’s foot,

But he on parole, release got,

Who gave the real authentic count

What strength, the Highland pow’rs did mount,

Who did command, what clans they were,
