"Epitaph"
"Halt courteous passenger and look on
Our bodies dead lying under this stone
Altho' we did commit no deed nor fact
That was against the bridegroom's contract
Yet we to Glasgow were as prisoners brought
And against us false witnesses they sought
There sentence cruel and unjust they past
And there our corps on Scaffold they downcast
There we our lives and right hands also lost
The pain was ours but theirs shall be the cost
From Glasgow we were brought to this place
In chains of iron hung up for certain space
