When James the King ruled by sceptered crown With bishops and pen from London town And the sword could ne'er bring Scotland down Where the cold North wind creeps through the dawn At old Montrose on a winter's morn The fourth Earl's only son was born And he grew strong and he grew stern Of books and knowledge he would learn And so to Glasgow he must turn For truth and valour he was named For bowmanship he was acclaimed And the silver arrow he did gain First through France then to London town This noble youth did proudly ride With his good bow strapped in behind Then his king's favour hе has sought But slander brought it all to nought To Scotland he sped back from court But nеw king Charles, so ill advised By Hamilton and Laud likewise Scotland they betrayed by lies With papacy and bad intent A new prayer-book to Scotland sent To control the kirk was his intent
