Some Lynes on the Killing of Ye Earle of Newcastell's Sonne's Dog
By ye Marquess Hamilton, in the Queen's Garden at Yorke. Written there by the Earle of Montrois.
Heir layes a doge, quhosse qualities did plead,
Such fatall end from a Renouned blade,
And blame him not, though he succumbed now,
For Hercules could not combat against two;
For whilst he on hes foe revenge did take
He manfully was killed behind his back.
Then say to eternize the curr thats gone,
He flech't the Mayden sword of Hamiltone.
