On this day in Lamont history 6 Dec 1656. Account of the Villanous Actions of Archbald Marquis of Argyle. How now, Argyle? thinks thou to stand With thy deep plots and bloody band? Their must no house stand near to thee, But Achab-like thy prize must be; If MacNaughtoune brooked on its raw, For forged crymes he tholes the law. Long has thou usd this subtle way, And promp thy neighbours to betray, Take here a list what thou hes done, And in thy crymes read thou thy dome: The laird of Lamonth, who did bring All of his name to aid the king, Therefore you did his name destroy, And spared neither man nor boy. His lady fair, tho one of thy name. And cousin near, thou thought no shame To put her from house, left notwithall Her nakedness to cover all; Prisond hameless caused him to be The object of mens charitie.
