Gracious king! Keith has rejoin’d the Scots, with many knights, Prendergest, Ramsay, Gray—th’ assault has fail’d, As we knew nought of this superior force. Inflated now, like frogs who sought a king, With new-come succours, they refuse surrender; Treating your summons with insulting scorn; And say, in terms of truce they stand relieved, And that their hostages should be given up.
