And record none remains save this gray stone!

Then come the warlike Saxons; and the years

Roll on in conflict: and the pirate Dane

Uprears his Bloody raven; and his spears

Bristling upon the Broadlaw summit's plain

Spread terror o'er the vale: and still rude times

Succeed; and Border feuds with conflagration light

Nightly, the Teviot's wave, and ceaseless crimes

Chase from the holy towers their inmates in affright.
