second Session of King Davids Parliament There was a Statute made which is yet extant That no man should presume to buy or sell With Highland men or Scots of Ewsdale Yet Ewsdale was not near the Forrest Where brave Buckcleugh did dwell According to the old Proyerb They but fell from the Wains tail But when these Scots did bear that stile King David resided in Carlisle Without and infang they disturb'd his Court Which caus'd the King that Act set out Here I speak nought but truth all Men may note The very true Antiquity of the Name of Scot And now my versing Muse craves some repose And while she sleeps I 'le spout a little prose KEnneth the second King of Scots Son to King Alpin who was Son to brave King Achaius forsaid who made the League with Charles the Great Emperour of Germany

Field being so possest with War on every side what by Denmark and Norway on the one side the Brittans and Saxons on the other side poor little Scotland had much to do to get her feet holden among them For in all that time of an hundred and nine years there was but one victorious Conquering Ptince which was King Gregory So that the Borders in these Lands in England aforesaid being sometimes under
