This term “Trimmer” seemed to be very obnoxious to Jeffreys. Once at the council and when the king was present, Jeffreys “being flaming drunk, came up to the other end of the board and (as in that condition his way was) fell to talking and staring like a madman, and, at length, bitterly inveighed against Trimmers and told the king that he had Trimmers in his court and he would never be easy so long as the Trimmers were there.”[294] North gives the interpretation of the word “Trimmer,” which was taken up to subdivide the Tory party, of whom all (however loyal and of the established church professed) who did not go into all the lengths of the new-flown party at court, were so termed.[295] The name of the great Dundee instantly brings to mind one of the most spirited and characteristic ballads ever written: “The Gordon demands of him which way he goes-- Where’er shall direct me the shade of Montrose! Your Grace, in short space, shall hear tidings of me: Or that low lies the bonnet of Bonny Dundee. Come, fill up my cup; come, fill up my can; Come, saddle the horses and call up the men; Come, open your gates and let me gae free, For it’s up with the bonnets of Bonny Dundee.”[296] All of this is gone; low lies Bonny Dundee; and the untruth of what is called history is all we have of him. There was a ring of which a description and an engraving remain containing some of Lord Dundee’s hair, with the letters V. D. surmounted by a coronet worked upon it in gold; and on the inside of the ring are engraved a skull and this poesy: “_Great Dundee, for God and me. J. Rex._” This ring, which belonged to the family of Graham of Duntrune, (representative of Viscount Dundee,) has, for several years, been lost or mislaid.[297] A memorial of Nelson is left in some half-dozen of rings. In the place of a stone, each ring has a metal _basso relievo_ representation of Nelson, half bust. The metal, blackish in appearance, forming the relief, being, in reality, portions of the ball which gave the Admiral his fatal wound at Trafalgar. Cardinal York, the last of the Stuart family, left as a legacy to the Prince of Wales, afterwards George the Fourth, a valuable ring which was worn by the kings of Scotland on the day of their coronation.[298]
