Built deep within a dreary glen, Where scattered lay the bones of men. In some forgotten battle slain, And bleach'd by drifting wind and rain. It might have tamed a warrior's heart,^ To view such mockery of his art ! builded upon ane hill, which was above this church, which doeth now stand in this toune; and ancient men doeth say, that there was a battell foughten on ane litle hill not the tenth part of a myle from this church, be oertaine men which they did not know what they were. And long ty...me thereafter, cer- taine herds of that toune, and of the next toune, called Unnatt, both wenches and youthes, did on a tyme conveen with others on that hill ; and the day being somewhat cold, did gather the bones of the dead men that were slayne long tyme before in that place, and did make a fire to warm them. At last they did all remove from the fire, except one maid or wench, which was verie cold, and she did remaine there for a space. She being quyetlie her alone, without anie other companie, took up her cloaths above her knees, or thereby, to warm her ; a wind did come and caste the ashes upon her, and she was conceived of ane man-chyld.
