 surprised when we find Scott ;i 



the following lines from tho old song, " Tho Clerks of OwBenfonl," 

 see Eoborts' Legendary Ballads : — 



" Then he has ta'en the twa bonny olerts, 

 Bound them frae tap to tae, 

 Till the reddest blade in a' their veins 

 Out cure their nails did c,ae." 

 The following story from Gilbert's " History of the Viceroys of 

 Ireland," page 63, would, if true, seem to justify the accounts 

 given by Scott and others of their fabled heroes. Describing a 

 feud that existed between Ungues do Lasci, "John's representative, 

 and a puwertiil baron named Do Curci," our author says that the 

 latter was atiaiki d hv the former while at prayers in the cathedral 

 of Down, with ilio following result: "With the pole of a cross 

 Bnatcliid from the head of a grave in the chorohyord, De Curei 

 slew thirteen of l)e Lasci's soldiers ere ho was overpowered and 

 sent in fetters to the Tower of London."— Crcilof Jndatua Apclla,
