The Dean of Lismore's Book

Note 157 — THE BOOK OF THE DEAN OF LISMORE. (continued 2)

Thomas Maclauchlan translation

The piece is extremely obscure, but the reference to Mac Robert and the Athole Stewarts would seem to indicate that the subjects of the poem were the murderers of King James the First. The infamous persons whom the poet denounces are said to have done evil to the race of kings.
