ROBERT SEMPILL [the younger] (1595?1665 ?)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 633 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROBERT SEMPILL [the younger] (1595?1665 ?) , son of the above, was educated at the university of Glasgow, having matriculated in
March
  1613. During the Civil War he fought for the Stuarts, and seems to have suffered heavy pecuniary losses under the Commonwealth. He died between 166o and 1669. He married Mary, daughter of Sir
Thomas
  Lyon of Auldbar. His reputation is based on the ballad, " The Life and Death of Habbie
Simpson
 , Piper of Kilbarchan," written c. 1640. It is an interesting picture of the times; and it gave fresh vogue to the popular six-lined stanza which was much used later by Ramsay, Fergusson and Burns (see particularly, Burns's " Poor Mailie's Elegy "). Two broadside copies were printed before 1700, and it appeared in James
Watson
 's Collection of Poems (17061710). Sempill is supposed to be the author also of an epitaph on " Sawney Briggs, nephew to Habbie
Simpson
 ," written in the same stanza. He wrote a continuation of his father's " Packman's
Pater
  Noster."
