Excerpt from John O' Arnha's Latter-Day Exploits and Other Poems
So long had John indulged in self-glorifying narrative that it was doubtful if he had not come to have a hazy belief in the reality of some of his exploits. He was an established character in Montrose, and con temporal y with Beattie, and it was his well-known weakness which incited the latter to immortalise him in song, to the hero's unutterable disgust.
