be sad now and lament;
 * for honours thou hast lost,

But yet rejoice, in better times,
 * which will repay the cost.

Tho' into thraldom you should be
 * brought by your enemies,

You shall have freedom from them all,
 * and enjoy your liberties.

The grave of the most noble Prince
 * to all is great regret,

The subject to law, who doth leave
 * the kingdom and estate.

O anguish great! where every kind.
 * and ages doth lament:

Whom bitter death has ta'en away,
 * shall Scotland sore repent.
