THE REBEL CAPTIVE . An Excellent New SONG , On the taking of Argile in Scotland by three Young Men , who met him as he was flying away in Disguise , after his Men had deserted him , &c. Behold Argile the Famous Rebel , He Who aw'd Three Kingdoms , now subdu'd by Three . Oh Archibald ! ( to save ) hard was thy Doom , I' th' Field a wretched Life to loose at Home , To the Tune of Sawny and Jockey . &c.

I. THree bony Lads were Sawny Cloud Hammilton , And Andrew Grier the Captain that led 'em on , When for the Loons it prov'd a fatal day , Argile was ta'n , and all his Men run away . When Duglas Jiv'd him , Riv'd him , Driv'd him And of all hopes had depriv'd him , Routed him , flouted him , The De'l bigotted him , And now the States a Rope have allotted him . II. On June the Fifteenth , oh ! 't was a Fatal day , Archibald fled , and all the Rogues run away In a disguise the Loon thought to shun his Fate , Three bonny Boys stopped him on the Gate , In a blew Bonnet , On it One hit Such a bread Gash as made him tull own it , Oh! spare me , Disarm me , And do no more harm me , For I am Argile the head o' th' Whig Army . III. Quarters , oh ! quarters ! I yield my self Prisoner , Here take my Sword too that useless Tool of War . Footmen and Horses , now I all give you o're , Dunbartons Forces no Man can stand before . But they will fight him , Right him , Fright him , The proudest Fo ; will put to the flight him , Thunder him , Plunder him , Dash all asunder him , And make Argile himself truckle under him . IV. Thus having yielded up both his Sword and Durg , The Bony Boys convey'd him to Edingburg , Where with a Train he enters the Water-Gate , Th' Hangman walking before in Muckle State With a Hemp Garter , The Martyr to Quarter And by the Lugs to cut the Loon shorter . The same Fate Ever wait , To Crown the Rebels Pate , And all such Traytors as dare oppose the State .
