Wi' Cranstane, Gladstain, good at need,

Baith Rewle water, and Hawick town.

Beanjeddart bauldly made him boun,

Wi' a' the Trumbills, stronge and stout;

The Rutherfoords, with grit renown,

Convoyed the town of Jedbrugh out.

Of other clans I cannot tell,

Because our warning was not wide.—

Be this our folks hae taen the fell,

And planted down palliones[[147]] there to bide.
