Dies Irae ? (Day of Wrath)
dies irae is the day of wrath, the day of judgement but I don't know where "Scott" comes into it
The following is Sir Walter Scott�s greatly admired condensed rendering of the Dies Ir� which is found in his Lay of the Last Minstrel. It consists of only twelve lines.

That Day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner�s stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?

When, shrivelling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll;
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead:

O, on that day, that wrathful day,
When may to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou the trembling sinner�s stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away!
"That day of wrath, that dreadful day". A hymn written by Sir Walter Scott.
