But the next daie, a certeine number of Englishmen vnder the leading of doctor Leigh, went againe to Eden|burgh, and did what they could, vtterlie to destroie the whole towne with fire, and so continued all that daie & the two daies next following. During all this violence offered by the English to the enimie, & no|thing left but despaire of life, the women and chil|dren beholding this desolation, made such outragi|ous exclamations and wofull lamentations, that heauen it selfe rang with their noise, as verie pi|thilie is described by Chr. O. in his report, saieng:

Foeminei sexus gemitus ad sydera grandi

Tolluntur strepitu, puerorum clamor in auras,

Nil nisi triste fuit, faciésque miserrima rerum.
