The reign of his son, Robert III, crowned August fourteenth, thirteen ninety, was that of a weakling who let power fall into the hands of his brother, the Duke of Albany, or his son David, Duke of Rothesay, who held the reins after the Parliament, a Parliament that bitterly blamed the government, of January thirteen ninety-nine.

Greg GiordanoNARRATOR
For in the silent grave no conversation, no joyful tread of friends, no voice of lovers, no careful father's counsel nothing's heard, for nothing is but all oblivion, dust, and an endless darkness.
Greg GiordanoNARRATOR
Suddenly the notes of the deep laboring organ burst upon the ear, falling with doubled and redoubled intensity, and rolling, as it were, huge billows of sound.
Greg GiordanoNARRATOR
How well do their volume and grandeur accord with this mighty building! With what pomp do they swell through its vast vaults, and breathe their awful harmony through these caves of death, and make the silent sepulcher vocal! And now they rise in triumphant acclamation, heaving higher and higher their accordant notes, and piling sound on sound.
