MURE, SIR WILLIAM (15941657) , Scottish writer, son of Sir William Mure of Rowallan, was born in 1594. His mother was Elizabeth,
sister
  of the poet Alexander Montgomerie (q.v.). He was a member of the Scottish
parliament
  in 1643, and took part in the English campaign of 1644. He was wounded at Marston Moor, but a month later was commanding a
regiment
  at Newcastle. He died in 16J7. He wrote
Dido
  and Aeneas; a
translation
  (1628) of Boyd of Trochrig's Latin Hecatombe Christiana; The True Crucifixe for True Catholikes (1629); a paraphrase of the Psalms; the Historie and Descent of the
House
  of Rowallane; A Counter-buff to Lysimachus
Nicanor
 ; The Cry of Blood and of a Broken Covenant (165o); besides much miscellaneous verse and many sonnets.
A complete edition of his works was edited by William Tough for the Scottish Text Society '(2 vols., 1898). Mure's Lute-Book, a musical document of considerable
interest
 , is preserved in the
Laing
  collection of MSS. in the library of the university of Edinburgh.
