Thus butchering the Rebel Scot.
God keep all foes, and friends of mine,
From death of such a cruel kind:
It did fulfil an English law;
But such a sight I never saw.
O! may it ever a warning be,
From rebellious mobs, to keep us free!
My dear Scots-men, a warning take,
Superior pow’rs not to forsake,
Mind the Apostle’s words, of law and love,
