Someone trying their hand at composing a ballad??--printed in 1835.

LORD LOVAT.-- The Frazers, lords Lovat in the Ross/Inverness area of Scotland and referring to the Crusades.

[1] Lord Lovat left the wars,
    Beneath the halie cross,
    To seek the weel-kent braes and scaurs,
    And the bonnie woods o" Ross.
    ---------------------------------------
[5] Lord Lovat"s step was first
    When Ascalon was won;
    Lord Lovat"s lance, the foremost burst
    Jerusalem"s wa"s upon.
    ---------------------------------------
[36] But nae Lord Lovat cam",
    Though twice the gathering cry
    From thousands rose the hills amang,
    In thunder to the sky.
    ---------------------------------------
[39] Stretched on the altar steps, below
    The cross, as if to pray,
    And white upon his sunburnt brow,
    The drifted cranreuch lay.
