Verses intended to be written below a noble Earl's picture

Stranger, to justly shew that brow,

And mark that eye of fire,

Would take His hand, whose vernal tints

His other works admire.

Bright as a cloudless summer sun,

With stately port he moves;

His guardian seraph eyes with awe

The noble ward he loves.

Among the illustrious Scottish sons

That chief thou may'st discern;

Mark Scotia's fond returning eye,

It dwells upon Glencairn.
