Limericum.—Barbour says that King Robert and Edward Bruce,
‘Throw all the land planly thai raid, / Thai fand nane that thaim obstakill maid, / Thai raid ewyn forouth Drochindra, / And forouth Dewillyne syne alsua: / Ann to giff bataill nane thai fand. / Syne went thai southwart in the land, / And rycht to Kynerike held their way / That is the southmaist town perfay / That in Irland may fundyn be.’
(B. xvi. l. 259).
Pinkerton in a note says that some editions read Limeric for Kynerike.
