Is now a captive in your hands, And one is left to me.
But never hath a Scaton's blood Been deaf to mercy's call ; In mercy's name, I pledge him, too.
And wait what may befall." Then there came tidings from the North, Of army of relief, And at its head the dreaded name Of Douglass for their chief.
LAYS OF THE OLD LAND 109 Then cried King Edward in his rage, "Haste! rear a jibbet high, And tell Sir Seaton now to yield, Or see his two whelps die." O bitter, bitter, was the dree Of Seaton in that ...hour.
To see his sons arrayed for death Before the castle tower.
While tauntingly King Edward cried: "Bend now your stubborn knee, Or see your gallant sons swing high Upon the gallows tree." Then Seaton groaned: "O cruel death!
And worse than death to yield.
O would that I and all my sons Had died upon the field." O if it be that angels dwell In tenements of clay, A blessed angel kissed his cheek.
And spake to him that day.
The tender, strong, heroic soul Of mother, wife and saint.
Poured strength into the anguished soul That for a while was faint.
