. ' * Earl of Forfar, slain at the battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715, re sided at Bothwell-castle, nine miles from Glasgow, where the Coun- tess, his mother, lived for several years after his death ; it now belongs to Lord Douglas, having been greatly enlarged by the last Duke, after his Castle of Douglas was burnt down. GLOTTA. 9 Are these thy gifts, oh, fatal love of fame 1 And must a life be lost to win a name ? In equal hazards must the virtuous be, Who fight to save, and conquer to set free, W...ith those that grown in impious actions bold, Boast all their merit kings and countries sold? Yes, Glotta, justly thou thy valiant son Might'st in sad strains, and sadder yet bemoan ; Who brought new honours to a mighty name* Of antient date and near allyM to fame: But Heav'n reproves thy grief and bids thee smile, Yet happy in an Orkney, and Argyle. Through flow'ry vallies, and enamel'd meads, * The hastening flood at length to Glasgow speeds. V Its northern bank a lovely Green displays, Whose ev'ry prospect fresh delights conveys* Alternate shades of blowing flow'rs we view Of various tincture, wash'd in fragrant dew.
