Not for De Argentine alone, Through Ninian's church these torches shone, And rose the death-prayer's awful tone.-St. XXXV. p. 270. The remarkable circumstances attending the death of De Argentine have been already noticed, (pp. 309, 310.) Besides this renowned warrior, there fell many representatives of the noblest houses in England, which never sustained a more bloody and disastrous defeat. Barbour says that two hundred pairs of gilded spurs were taken from the field of battle; and that some were left the author can bear witness, who has in his possession a curious antique spur, dug up in the morass, not long since. "It was fersooth a great ferlie, To see samyn' sa fele did lie. Two hundred spurs that were reid,2 Were taen of knights that were dead." I am now to take my leave of Barbour, not without a sincere wish that the public may encourage the undertaking of my friend, Dr Jamieson, who has issued proposals for publishing an accurate edition of his poem, and of Blind Harry's Wallace. The only good edition of The Bruce was published by Mr Pinkerton, in 3 vols., in 1790; and, the learned editor having had no personal access to consult the manuscript, 1 Together. 2 Red, or gilded. it is not without errors; and it has besides become scarce. Of Wallace there is no tolerable edition; yet these two poems do no small honour to the early state of Scottish poetry, and The Bruce is justly regarded as containing authentic historical facts.
