Transcription	By Edmund Kean Esqr On the Ruin of Rothsay Castle Isle of Bute Vale, a Poet, would say more Would tell thy beauties o'er and oer Recount each deed of early date Of Chiefs and Clans, that met their fate Beneath those towers with Ivy bound Without a stone to mark the ground The ruin only teacheth me Such wert thou once, such shalt thou be A monument of Greatness past Proud for the day & at the last
