Inventarie of the Gabions, in M. George his Cabinet (1638) Good Gall, said I, ofttimes I heard of oldThe wals of Perth. To be of truth these things ere while you told: But of these wals I doubt that which you said That good King William their foundations layd. Their founding is more late, I you assure; That we from strangers rage may be secure, They builded were, even then when Iames did reigne The second, and in minor age was king, Vpon a bloodie slaughter, I hear tell, Which twixt our town and highland men befell; For taking, as the custome was, a staig At Midsummer; said Gall, Monsier, you vaig. Which word indeed my spleane almost did move: Then Gall, said I, if that I did not love You most intirely, I would be offended. Said he, good Monsier, Would you have it mended? Then I that storie will you truely tell, And if I faile so much as in a spell, 40 Speak all your pleasure, I my peace shall hold, And grant my tongue in speaking was too bold: Therefore Monsier, be not so much annoy'd, These walls have oft been built, and oft destroy'd And stratagems of war have acted been, As worthie as the world hath heard or seene. By Sojours as good as the Earth hath born, This boldly to avow I dar be sworn: Englands first Edwards three can shew the same, And Scotlands Wallace, Bruce, and Stewarts fame, Whose prowes vvithin this Isle vvere not confin'd The Netherlands and France scarce them contain'd, Nor other parts of Europ, and it's cleare What great exploits they bravelie acted heere, These stories are vvell known, I must not slack, For by and by the tide vvill call us back,
