KING CHARLES THE FIRST'S MASTER WRIGHT .

Composed by Mr John Adamson, Primer of the College of Edinburgh, at the desire of William Wallace, Master Mason, Cutter of the Stone.

H ERE lies interr'd, under this stone,
Good honest Arthur Hamilton;
A man in his life both just and upright,
For skill in his craft, the king's master wright.
William Wallace, the king's master mason,
Hew'd out this stone in a goodly fashion;
Arthur's heart was so kind, I'm sure if he wist,
He would wish to be living to make William a kist.
