“At the Reuris of Babilone,
Quhair we dwelt in Captiuitie,
Quhen we rememberit Syone,
We weipit all full sorrowfullie,
On the sauch tries our harpis we hang,
Quhen thay requiyrit us ane sang,
That held us in sic thirldome.
Thay bad us sing sum Psalme or hymne,
That we sumtyme sang Syone in;
To quholme we answerit full sune.”
― James Wedderburn, A Compendious Book of Psalms and Spiritual Songs, commonly known as The Gude and Godlie Ballates
