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

PATER, WALTER HORATIO (1839-1894)

Noster."
