Scott makes the Earl of Angus say; but “Gawain” penned many a line, and penned the last of the _Æneid_ on the 22nd of July 1513, when For to behold, it was a gloir to see The stabled windes and the calmed sea, The soft seasoun, the firmament serene, The lowne illumined air, and firth amene, * * * * * Towers, turrets, kirnels, pinnacles hie Of kirks, castells, and ilke fair city, Stood painted, every fyall, fane and stage, Upon the plain ground by their own umbrage. After Flodden there were many prayers in St, Giles’s, but few endowments.[24] No doubt, when that first Proclamation bade the women go into the churches and pray, many a Scottish wife, many a mother, many a girl with a secret sorrow to carry with her to the grave, took her broken heart into the shadows of the old Church, and wept her supplications before the little altars there. Gavin Douglas was still Provost of St. Giles’s during these troubled days, and his father, the Earl of Angus, was Provost of the city, having succeeded Sir Alexander Lauder of Blyth, who had marched under him to Flodden, and fallen on the field. So the Douglases held the helm; and there could be this entry in the Burgh Records:-- Archibald Dowglas erle of Angius, Provest.-- Magister Gavinus Dowglas prepositus ecclesie collegiate Beati Egidij hujusmodi burgi effectus est burgenssis pro communi bono ville gratis.[25] In 1516 Gavin Douglas was made Bishop of Dunkeld; but five years later, on Albany’s return to the regency, the day of the Douglases was over, and Gavin found an asylum in England (his nephew, the Earl of Angus, was now Henry VIII.’s brother-in-law, having married the widowed Queen Margaret); and he died in London of the plague in 1522.
