Extempore, upon viewing yethe Scaffold imme-
diately after yethe Execution of LdLord Balmerino.

Lo! where undaunted Balmerino stood,

Firm, without canting, seal’dsealed his Faith in Blood,
In 113 (113)
In Cause of Right &and Truth unmov’dunmoved &and just,

And as he knew no Fear, betray’dbetrayed no Trust.

Th’The amaz’damazed Spectator drop’ddropped the troubled Eye,

As more afraid to look, than He to die.

Whence sprung ysthis great unparallel’dunparalleled Deport?

God &and his Conscience were his strong Support.
