HEre's Joyfull Tydings now we bring from the brave Scotish Nation, The fame of Protestants shall ring, through Town and Corporation: The Rebell which did lead the Van, and o'er the Mountains scouted, At length brave Boys is dead and gone, and all his Forces routed. The Protestant great General, who led his men to Battel; Although on both sides some did fall, while Guns and Drums did rattle
The fight they bravely did maintain and while they were about it; Dundee in field was fairly slain, and all his Rebells routed. Mackay he did the Rebells face, that valiant stout Commander; And for his Courage seem'd to trace the steps of Alexander: His forces he drew up with speed, although the Papists flouted; He made Dundee in field to bleed, and all his forces routed.
In noble shining Armour bright, stout lads both brisk and aiery March'd with Mackay in field to fight for William and Queen Mary; Alas the fray near lasted long, when once we went about it; Dundee was slain in all the throng, likewise his Rebells routed. Though he at first rid up in state, we soon did blast his Glory; A Pistol Bullet sent him strait from hence, to Purgatory: His Rebells they did likewise run, and through the Valleys scouted, So that each man and mothers son by Protestants were routed. The Clans and the Mackdonells too, and all the Heathen faction; When they was told that this was true they all were in Distraction; There hearts were fill'd with fear and dread, as through the Vails they scouted; Still crying out, Dundee is dead, and we shall all be routed.
Five hundred Rebells, Foot and Horse, one day a Town did Plunder, But Mackay hearing of that loss, strait after them did Thunder He Charg'd and Fir'd in the R[ear] as they before him scouted, Till he at last the Coast did clear and they were more than routed. We cut them down as they did fly and stoutly follow'd after, The Major smote them Hip and Thigh; I' faith with a great slaughter: There some was slain, the rest was tai[n] who on our Forces glouted, In this sharp fray, we got the Day and all the Rebells routed. Some say Dundee has flipt his wind, and fled to Purgatory, But some are of another mind; counting the same a story; They heard him bid his Men reside, upon the Scotish Borders, While he full Post was forc'd to Ride away to Hell for Orders.
