from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott

In which the Abbot, beset by grave anxieties and the impending threat of English forces, seeks counsel from his brethren regarding the defence of their ancient monastery, lamenting the insufficiency of spiritual weapons against worldly foes. The Sub-Prior proposes practical measures of resistance, including enlisting the aid of a martial but dubious ally, as they prepare to guard their sacred charge against the approach of hostile invaders.
