Thus of old the Douglas did	A
He left his land as he was bid	A
With the royal heart of Robert the Bruce	B
In a golden case with a golden lid	A
	-
To carry the same to the Holy Land	C
By which we see and understand	C
That that was the place to carry a heart	D
At loyalty and love s command	C
	-
And that was the case to carry it in	E
The Douglas had not far to win	E
Before he came to the land of Spain	F
Where long a holy war had been	E
	-
Against the too victorious Moor	G
And there his courage could not endure	G
Not to strike a blow for God	H
Before he made his errand sure	G
	-
And ever it was intended so	I
That a man for God should strike a blow	I
No matter the heart he has in charge	J
For the Holy Land where hearts should go	I
	-
But when in battle the foe were met	K
The Douglas found him sore beset	K
With only strength of the fighting arm	L
For one more battle passage yet	K
	-
And that as vain to save the day	M
As bring his body safe away	M
Only a signal deed to do	N
And a last sounding word to say	M
	-
The heart he wore in a golden chain	F
He swung and flung forth into the plain	F
And followed it crying 'Heart or death	O
And fighting over it perished fain	F
	-
So may another do of right	P
Give a heart to the hopeless fight	P
The more of right the more he loves	Q
So may another redouble might	P
	-
For a few swift gleams of the angry brand	C
Scorning greatly not to demand	C
In equal sacrifice with his	R
The heart he bore to the Holy Land	C
