‘Then I knew no way how to fen’;
My guts rumbled like a hurle-barrow;
I dined with saints and noblemen,
Even sweet Saint Giles and Earl of Murray.’
In the immediate neighbourhood of the Earl of Murray’s tomb, to the east, is the sepulchre of the Marquis of Montrose, executed in 1650, and here interred most sumptuously, June 1661, after the various parts of his body had been dispersed for eleven years in different directions, according to his sentence.[77]
