Co. [County] Stirling -- Campsie Parish


[Epitaph continued from page 153]

"Then taken down interred here we ly
From 'neath this stone our blood to Heaven doth [fly]

"Had foreign foes, Turks, or Mahometans
Had Scythians, Tartars, Arabian Caravans
Had cruel Spaniards, the Pope's bloody seed
Commenced the same less strange had been the deed
But Protestants protest once Covenanted too
Our countrymen this cruel deed could do
Yet notwithstanding of their hellish rage
The noble Whirrie stepping on the stage
With courage boil'd with heart not faint
Exclaim'd his blood now sealed our Covenant
Ending they who would follow Christ must take
Their cross upon their back the world forsake."
