1 Lindsay, Christian, [note] —
“Quehn we are deid, that all our days daffis,
Let Christen Lyndsay wryt our epitaphs.”

2 So says Montgomery,
in a sonnet addressed to R. Hudson;
but, of the epitaphs for which Lindsay appears to have been
celebrated, not one is now known to be extant. The only production we have of
Lindsay's, is a sonnet addressed to the said Hudson, in
which he upbraids him for treachery to Montgomery. But Hudson was a courtier, and Lindsay says
well:
But Robene, faith ye did me not beguyle,
I hopit ay of you, as of the lave.
