It charg’d their appearing, appointing the day:

The provost, in its hearing,

The summons greatly fearing,

Appeal’d to his Maker, the same did deny.

At this were many griev’d,

As many misbeliev’d;

But forward they march’d to their destiny:

From thence to the border,

They march’d in good order,

The Merse-men and Forrest they join’d the array.
