PREFACE
TO THE
SCOTISH MINSTREL.
In presenting the Scotish Minstkel to the Public, we trust that we have
amply fulfilled the engagements into which we entered in the Prospectus, — not
only by the careful selection of the Airs, but also by the addition of Accompani-
ments for the Piano-Forte, composed expressly for the work, and in a style which,
it is hoped, will be found to support the voice without overwhelming it. As this
improvement formed no part of our original plan, the Lovers of Scotish Song
must be satisfied of our anxious desire to render it as generally acceptable as pos-
sible. With regard to the Music and Poetry, we can truly say that is national,
as we have scrupulously avoided the insertion of any airs or verses, however
beautiful, that are not of Scotish origin.
The Scots have been often accused of claiming the Irish music as their own,
and though we wish to act fairly by them, we cannot but doubt the exclusive
right which, in many instances, has been asserted in favour of the sister country.
Burns says, " The wandering minstrels, harpers, and pipers, used to go fre-
quently errant through the wilds of Scotland and Ireland, and so some favourite
airs might be common to both.1' From this intercourse, the itinerant minstrels
of either country might widely disseminate their tunes, and each nation might
gradually mould them to its own peculiar character. Of this many instances, we
think, may be traced. The air adapted in this collection to Burns1 song, " The
gloomy night is gathering fast? which we carefully noted from the singing of an
aged Highland woman several years ago, is very like, in the second strain, to a
well-known Irish tune. If it be of Irish origin, the Highlanders have altered it
to their own scale, which gives it quite a Scotish character ; but may not the
Irish have taken the same liberty ? The similarity of " / Med ns'er a laddie but
ane? to the air, claimed by the Irish, " My lodging is on the cold ground? is also
very striking ; yet this air has long been considered in Scotland to be of native
growth. The air adapted to " Lord Ronald came to his lady's bower? which has
never, that we are aware of, been committed to writing till now, and which ap-
_i

pears to be formed from the same materials, has been from time immemorial
known among our peasantry ; and " The widow's waiV seems to have been con-
structed from it. The curious in these matters may amuse themselves with tracing
several others, in which the ground- work will be found the same, while the super-
structure varies in its features according to the distinguishing characteristics of
the two countries. We think, therefore, that this point can never be satisfactorily
determined; and if we have inserted any disputed airs, we must just make our
apology in the words of an old song, and say,
" Ireland is a fine countrie,
And the Scots to them are kin."
Besides the songs familiar to every Caledonian, many hitherto unpublished will
be found in this collection,* which, we doubt not, will be highly relished by
those who prefer the simple " breathings of nature11 to the laboured combina-
tions of art. Not a few of these wild flowers have been gathered from the peasantry
of our country. Several of them, from their extreme simplicity, and the scale
from which they are framed, must satisfy every one acquainted with the charac-
teristics of Scotish music, that they are the compositions of minstrels of a remote
age. Many of the Jacobite songs and airs were taken from the withered lips of
auld himmers and carles, whose bluid yet warms at ilie remembrance of Prince
Charlie, -f-
According to the plan of this work, several airs have been arranged to the
simple stanzas of olden time, in preference to the more polished verse of modern
days ; for this we need make no apology to him who feels that
" Each simple air his mother sung
Placed on her knee, when helpless young,
Still vibrates on his ear !"
* For many very important contributions of this kind, we have been indebted to several cor-
respondents, who have sent us their offerings with no restriction, but that their names should be
concealed.
-f- Our obligations have been particularly great, in this way, to old Alister M'Alpine, an
eccentric, but worthy character, well known in the " west countrie ;" who sings snatches of
these Jacobite relics, when they happen to burst on his fast-decaying memory, with a degree of
enthusiasm which we scarcely remember to have seen equalled. It is much to be regretted, that
some person had not committed his songs to writing before the encroachments of time had so
far impaired his recollection ; we feel happy, however, in having been the means of preserving
from unmerited oblivion what yet remains, as in a few short years, in all human probability,
they would have no longer been in existence.
PREFACE TO THE SCOTISH MINSTREL. v
But, besides our predilection for old rhymes, we fear our good taste will be called
in question for admitting so many lilts and rants into the collection ; and some
may even reckon them silly, and perhaps vulgar. We appeal, however, to all true
Scotish hearts, if these ditties, with all their defects, have-not a nameless charm,
an undefinable attraction, associated, as they often are, with our earliest and
fondest recollections, and
" Intwined with every tender tie,
Memorials dear of youth and infancy."
Some beautiful verses from Leyden, Fergusson, Tannahill, Gall, the Ettrick
Shepherd, &c. will be found in these volumes, which were never before united to
music ; and many of the best songs of Burns, and other well-known lyric poets,
adorn their pages.
It may appear extraordinary to some of the unqualified admirers of Burns,
that we should exclude any of his standard songs from this collection. In some
instances this has arisen from accidental circumstances not worth explaining, and
in others from design ; for though we deeply feel his beauties, and exult in him
as a countryman, yet we have made it an invariable rule to prefer dulness to wit,
if it bordered on profanity, and doggerel rhyme to all the witchery of poesy, when
the bard could not " claim the palm for purity of song." A wise philanthropist
has said, " Let who will make the laws, but let me make the ballads.1'1 Convinced
of the force of this remark, and of the influence, good or evil, which the union of
poetry and music must have, we have been most anxious to preserve our pages
unsullied by any thing likely to offend against delicacy or decorum. As the hours
of recreation are the most critical for morals, it is of the utmost importance that
virtuous feelings be excited in the mind by those exercises of which that recreation
consists. When disengaged from the active pursuits of business, and during the
hours of relaxation and festivity, no higher virtues can be brought before our
view than those of friendship, love, patriotism, hospitality, and good humour ;
in no form can they be introduced more acceptable than in that of song ; and
they never appear more delightful than when chanted to such artless and simple
music as awakens the feelings and penetrates at once to the heart.
That these untutored effusions, which come more immediately under the deno-
mination of National Melody, possess, in an eminent degree, the power of making-
deep and powerful impressions, none we believe will have the hardihood to deny ;
however little they may be relished by persons destitute of musical feeling on the
one hand, or on the other by those who, lost in the labyrinths of musical science,
can derive gratification only from suspensions, fugues, and other mechanical con-
trivances— the dry and elaborate pedantries' of art. To the first description of
vi PREFACE TO THE SCOTISH MINSTREL.
persons we shall make no reply ; but to those who affect to despise these artless
strains on account of their extreme simplicity, we do not hesitate to give it as our
opinion, that, while many of the laboured productions of art shall gradually be
growing antiquated, and at length be lost in the shifting revolutions of fashion, —
so long as human passions and human feelings remain the same, the simple effu-
sions of nature will be fondly cherished and listened to with rapture.
We beg, however, not to be misunderstood on this subject, as none can have
a greater relish than ourselves for many of the beautiful compositions of classical
composers ; and none, we presume, have received higher gratification from those
charming specimens of melody, united to the most exquisite and powerful har-
mony, that have been given to the world by a Haydn, a Mozart, and a Beeth-
oven. We only desire to advocate the cause of simplicity and nature, particularly
in music united to poetry ; for we are perfectly aware, that the human voice is
wonderfully supported by a chaste instrumental accompaniment, and that when
good harmony is attached to pleasing melody, the effect is truly enchanting.
The opinion, that our melodies are more indebted to the feelings of nature
than the exertions of art for their existence, appears, we think, to be founded on
just grounds. Music and song are natural to mankind — they have one common
origin — both of them proceed from the native sympathies and susceptibilities of
the heart ; and according as the heart is affected with joy or sorrow, they will be
o-ay and sprightly in the one case, or sad and plaintive in the other, and will
express all those varieties of emotion with which the mind may be affected by the
prosperities and adversities of life.
The primary scale of music has been ever the same throughout the habitable
globe ; and although the music of each country might possess a character peculiar
to itself, varying according to the different manners and dispositions of its inhabi-
tants, yet its general features must be nearly the same ; and it is only when so-
ciety has attained some degree of refinement, and music has assumed somewhat of
the character of a science, that those more artificial modes of composition can find
place. Thus it is very evident, that the fourth and seventh in the major mode,
and the second and sixth in the minor mode, were not introduced until music
came to be cultivated as a science ; and the flat seventh in the major mode, which
gives such a tender and impassioned expression to so many of our melodies,
although now in some measure ancient, was certainly not to be found in the
music of very remote ages.
For the amusement of those who may be curious to trace the antiquity of our
airs, we shall subjoin a few observations and quotations. — A late writer on
Scotish music remarks, that " The excellence and sweetness of the Scotish
melodies has been widely felt and frequently acknowledged. How so much
PREFACE TO THE SCOTISH MINSTREL. vii
sweetness came to be infused into the strains of a rude people, compelled to con-
tend with a barren soil, a tempestuous climate, and frequently involved in the
horrors of anarchy and civil discord, are questions which have been often put, and
considered to militate against the opinion of their being very ancient. By whom,
or under what circumstances, a great number of the Scotish melodies were com-
posed, it is now impossible to ascertain ; and to approximate by inference, that
a very considerable number of them are ancient, is perhaps all that ever will be
attainable on the subject.'" — Dr Johnson says, " A Scotchman must be a very
sturdy moralist who does not love Scotland better than truth : he will always love
it better than inquiry ; and if falsehood flatters his vanity, will not be very diligent
to detect it." — We have no wish to deny this charge on our nationality, as we
indeed love Scotland, though, we hope, not better than truth ; we therefore shall
proceed to inquiry. On Mr Tytler's inference, that the songs of " Waly, waly?
" O, laddie, I maun lo'e thee,'"'' and " Hap me with thy petticoat? from their
artless simplicity, belong to an age prior to the reign of James I., Ritson observes,
" There is in fact no bound to conjecture ; and it would be just as easy, and
possibly just as true, to fancy that all the Scotish songs and tunes, as now extant,
were sung and played every day before Fingal, as he sat in his great chair after
dinner, ' drinking the blude-red wine ;' " and again, " Scotch traditions are to be
received with great caution.'" — We may remark, that though Tytler's inference
cannot be satisfactorily established, still it is consonant with probability. But it
will be proper to fix a time before which music may be termed ancient. Taking Dr
Busby as sufficient authority, it is defined thus in his Dictionary : — " The epi-
thet ancient, when applied to the term music, is not, as when conjoined with the
word literature, to be referred to the productions of the classical Greeks and Ro-
mans. The eleventh century of the Christian era arrived before the appearance
of Guido's scale. To the age of De Muris (the fourteenth century) we are indebted
for the introduction of the bass, tenor, and treble cliffs ; and half of the seven-
teenth century had elapsed before the art was attained of composing in a plurality
of real and distinct simultaneous parts. It is therefore chiefly to the composers
of the early part of the eighteenth century that the expression ancient music pro-
perly relates, and indeed it seldom alludes to productions of an earlier date." —
The justness of the preceding definition is supported by Dr Burney, when treat-
ing of the introduction of the recitative into the Italian music : — " Till this time,"
says he, " musicians were chiefly employed in gratifying the ear with the ' con-
cord of sweet sounds,' without respect to poetry, or aspiring at energy, passion,
intellectual pleasure," &c.
Claudio Montevarde, who was, as it is generally thought, the first composer of
the musical drama called Opera, published a set of madrigals in 1638, in the
viii PREFACE TO THE SCOTISH MINSTREL.
preface to which he says, that " he is the first who has attempted to express the
livelier passions." Still it is not single melody ; and in the compositions of Italian
masters of the present day, we frequently see prefixed to particular movements,
and even to whole pieces of music, the term Alia Scozzese ; which does not
always signify that the style is directly Scotish, but that it is so far of a Caledoilian
cast, or tinge, as to remind us of the Scotish music. If the Italians had
originally been possessed of this kind of style, would they have made this open
acknowledgment? Certainly not; and their employing the term is evidence
sufficient that they are conscious of its not being their own invention. Carlo
Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, who died in 1614, and who appears to have been
esteemed as the first musician of his day, is candidly acknowledged by Tassoni
to have been an imitator of our King James I. All the Scotish historians
agree in James' being an admirable performer as well as composer. They, how-
ever, may be suspected of partiality to their king ; the testimony of an illustrious
foreigner is therefore much to be prized: — " Noi ancora possiamo connumerar,
tra nostri, Jacopo Re di Scozia, che non pur cose sacre compose in canto, ma
trova da se stesso, una nuova musica, lamentevole e mesta, differente da tutte
Taltre. Nel che poi e stato imitato da Carlo Gesualdo, Principe di Venosa, che in
questa nostra eta, ha illustrata anch1 egli la musica con nuove rnirabili inventioni."
See Tassoni " Pensieri Diversi" lib. 10. — It would therefore be unnecessary to
dilate upon the vague hypothesis that has assigned an Italian origin to our
Scotish airs. Before hazarding any opinion upon their origin, it will be proper
to ascertain if there are sufficient documents to"warrant designating any of them
ancient.
Allan Ramsay published his Tea-Table Miscellany in 1724, and a Collection
of Tunes or Airs, for the songs in that work, was published in 1725 ; and they
are described in the preface as " having an agreeable gayety and sweetness, that
makes them acceptable wherever they are known ; and what farther adds to the
esteem we have for them, is their antiquity, and being universally known." This
is certainly sufficient to entitle them to the appellation of ancient ; but, as this is
advancing about one quarter into the eighteenth century, we shall refer to earlier
documents.
We have seen two MS. Collections,* which consist principally of Scotish airs,
written for the Viol de Gamoa. The first is dated, Glasgow, 1683, and the
second, 1692. They contain nearly the same airs, and are evidently in the
hand-writing of the same person. The names attached to several of them are
different from those by which they are now known ; which plainly proves, that

PREFACE TO THE SCOTISH MINSTREL. ix
other songs were sung to them at that period : for instance, " Nancy's to the
greenwood gane," is called " Toxo to spin ,•" " My mither's aye glow'ring o'er me,"
" A health to Bettie ;" " Lochaber no more," " King James1 march to Ireland ,•"
" Tweedside," " Doun Tweedside." There are many other well-known tunes, a
few of the most popular of which we shall mention, viz. — " Allan Water,''''
" Where Helen lies,"" " For lack of gold she left me," " Hand awd Jrae me,
Donald" " Maggie, I must lo'e thee,'''' and " The last time I came o'er the muir.""
" Kathrine Ogie" was sung by Abel in 1686 ; " Waly, waly," is in an antique
Medley-book, 1666; " Leslies march"1'1 was known in 1644; " Tak your auld
cloak about ye" is mentioned in Othello, written about 1611; " O'er the hills and
Jar awa',''' and " Brose and butter,''1 were both popular before the Restoration ;
" John Anderson,'1'' and " Kind Robin lo^es me" are said to have been used as
chants in the Catholic church. " John Anderson," from its compass, simplicity,
and chasteness, might have had the honour of being chanted in that service, and
accompanied by the " kist fu1 o1 whistles ;" but it is fully as probable, that even
John was an associate of the profane ballads of his day, along with other vagrants
of the olden time. The fact we believe is, that instead of the secular music being
any way indebted to the music of the church, the Reformers seized upon the most
popular national airs as fit companions to their satirical songs upon the Papists.
" John Anderson" may then be considered prior to 1590 ; " The banks of Heli-
con," and " The wooing of Jock and Jenny," may be dated at 1586 ; the air of
" Whip megmorum" mentioned by Skinner in " Tullochgorum" is about the
same age ; and the battle of Harlaw, in 1411, gave birth to a famous pipe-tune,
which was a great favourite till the middle of the 17th century. It is provoking to
search, and search in vain, for tunes which appear to have been great favourites
with minstrels, pipers, poets, and the populace, from the 15th to the end of the
16th century. " Hunts up" " Hey trix cum trixie" and " The day it dawes,"
noticed familiarly by Douglas, Dunbar, and Sempil, are no longer known, unless
they exist under other titles. " Gilderoy" is commemorative of the outlaw
M'Gregor, executed in the reign of James V. " Johnny Armstrong" was a
famous freebooter who suffered in the same reign. In " Scotland^ Complaynt"
the shepherds have a dance named Johnny Ermstrang. It is likely that these are
coeval with the events they record. Of " The flowers of the Forest," commemo-
rative of the battle of Flodden, 1513, the Editor of the " Minstrelsy qf the
Scotish Border" states, that the first and fourth lines of the first stanza are old,
as well as the tune. The old sone- beg-an thus :
" I've heard a lilting at the ewes milking."
• •••«»
" The flowers of the Forest are all wede away."
x PREFACE TO THE SCOTISH MINSTREL.
The rest of the song was written by a lady of Roxburghshire. Another lady fa-
voured him also with a line of the old song, which runs thus :
" I ride single on my saddle ;
For the flowers of the Forest are a' wede away."
" The Souters of Selkirk" is another, which takes its origin from the fatal field of
Flodden. Tytler relates the peculiar circumstances of the Selkirk souters ; but
Ritson seems to have had considerable scruples of conscience, and discredits it,
because some wag at Aberdeen told Dr Johnson that the Scots learned the art of
making- slwesjrom Cromwell's army. " Hey tutti tatti" is said to have been the
march played to Robert Bruce's troops at the battle of Bannockburn. This has
been doubted; because Barbour mentions nothing but the blowing of horns.
Other instruments, however, besides horns were in use prior to this period.
Bromton, an Irish chronicler in the reign of Henry II., says the Scots had the
lyre, the tympano, and choro. Now the choro, or chorus, is found to be " a
musical instrument made of a skin, with two brass pipes — the one to be blown
into, the other to let out the sound ;" and the bagpipe is an instrument of great
antiquity among the northern nations. Though there is nothing but tradition to
rest on, the want of instruments will not hold good as an objection.
" The bonnie Erie o1 Morray"* and many other old songs and ballads, we have
been obliged to exclude, for the present, from the pages of the Scotish Minstrel,
for want of room ; but, from the liberal contributions that have been sent us, we
have a store of materials, which are now in preparation for a Supplementary
Volume. There are some Scotch bards to whom we have not had the courage
to make any application ; but if they would twine a wreath for the Minstrel,
proud would he be to wear it. We now send him forth, with all his imperfections
on his head, like other Minstrels, to wander through the mountains of his native
land— to traverse the green wilds of Erin, and the sequestered vales of Cambria ;
and, we trust, to be hospitably received " 'mong merry England's cultured fields."

Tho' hurricanes rise, and rise ev'ry wind,
They'll ne'er make a tempest like that in my mind.
Tho' loudest of thtrnder on louder waves roar,
That's naithingf like leaving my love on the shore.
To leaVe the behind me my heart is sair pain'd ;
By ease that's inglorious no fame can be g-ain'd;
And beauty and love's the reward of the brave,
And I must deserve it before I can crave.
Then g-lory, my Jt any, maun plead my excuse;
Since Honour commands me, how can I refuse?
Without it I ne'er can have merit for thee,
And without thy favour I'd better not be .
I pit then, my lass, to win honour and fame,
And if I shouldelMiKcto come gloriously hame,
A heartl will bringf thee with love running o cr,
And then I'll leave thee and Lochaber no more.

But she drinks my claiths that I canna well spare;
To fhe kirk and the market I gang- fu' barely,

The vera grey mittens that g-acd on my hands,
To her neebonr wife she lias laid them in pawns;
My bane-headed staff, that I lo'ed sae dearly,

If there's any siller she maun keep the purse;
If I seek but a bauhce, she'll seauld and she'll curse J
She g-ang-s like a queen, I scrimped and sparely;
0,g-in my wife wou'd drink hooly and fairly!
I never was g-iven to wrangding- nor strife,
Nor e'er did refuse her the comforts of life;
K er it come to a war fm ay for a parley;

A pint w-i' her cummers I wad her allow;
But when she sits down she fills herscll fou,
And when she is fou she's uneo ramstairic;

Anil when she conies hame she lays on tlie lads,
She ca's the lasses baith limmers and jads,

Tlio1 ne'er a word she says, my Annie.

Old Ballad.
Annan Water'* wading deep,
An'I my love Annie** wond'rous bonnic;
And I am laifh she suld wcot her feet,
Because I Inve lier best of ony.
"Gar saddle me the bonny black?
Gar saddle tunc, anil make him ready;
For I will down the Gatehope^slack,
And a' to see my bonny Lady.**
He has loupen on the bonny black,
He stirrVl him wi? the spur right sairly;
But, or he wan the Gatehope—slack,
I tliink the steed was wae and weary.
He has loupen on the bonny gray.
He rade the right gate and the ready;
I trow he wad neither stint nor stay,
For he was seeking his bonny Lady
0 he has ridden o\* re field and fell,
> Thro' ninir and moss, and mony a mire;
His spurs o1 steel were sair to bide,
And frac her fore-feet flew' the fitc . '
"Now .bonny grey, now- play your parti
Gin ye lie the steed that wins my deary,
Wi' corn and hay yc'se be fed for .iy e,
And never spur sail mak ye wearii-V
The grey was a marc, and a right gtide nun ,
But whan she wan the Annan Water,
She could na lia'e ridden a furlong inair,
Had a thousand marks been wadded at her.
"O boatmen, boatmen, pit aff jour boat!
Pit aff your boat for gowden monk!
1 cross the drumlie stream the night,
Or never mair I see my honey?'
O I was sworn sae late yestreen,
And not by ae aifh, but by many;
And for a' the gowd in fair Scotland,
I dare na tak ye through to Annie'.
O he has poxr'd aff his drappcrpy coat,
The silver buttons glanced bonny"
The waistcoat bursted aff his breast,
He was sae full o' melancholy.
He has ta'en the ford at that stream tail,
I wot he swam baith strong and steady;
But the stream was braid, and his strength did fail,
And he never saw his bonny Lady;
' O wae betide the frush saugh wand!
And wye betide the bush o' brier,
If brake into my true love's hand
When his strength did fail, and his limbs did fire.
And wae betide ye, Annan Water,
This night that ye are a drumlie river!
For over thee I'll build a bridge ,
' That ye never mair true love may sever?'

Where mien loaves modesty behind,
And manner takes the place of mind:
Where woman, tho' delig-hrful still,
Quits Nature's ease for Fashion's skill,
Hides, by the g-audy g-loss of art,
The. simple- beauty of her heart.
And born to lift our souls to heaven,
Strives for the gfaze dcs-jMscd when g-iven,
Forgets her being^s godlike power
To shine the wonder of an hour:
Oft had I sig-h'd to think that thou,
An Angel fair, could stoop so low;
Regret rose from thy causeless mirth
That Heaven could thus be stain'd by Eartli

THE FLOWER OF YARROW.
Thy braes were bunny, Yarrow stream,
When first >m .them I met my lovers
Thy braes, how dreary, Yarrow 'stream,
When now thy waves his body cover !
For ever bow, O Yarrow stream!
Thou art to me a stream of sorrow;
For never on thy hanks shall I
Behold my love, the flower of Yarrow.
He promised me a milk-white steed
To bear me to his father's bowers',
He promised me a little page
To s'jnire me to his father's towers ;
He promised me a wedding1— ring-,
The wedding-— day -was fixed to— morrow;
Now he is wedded to his grave,
Alas! his watery grave's in Yarrow.
Sweet were his words when last we met,
My passion I as freely told him;
f'lasp'd in his arms, I little thought
That I should never more behold him.
Scarce was he gone, I saw his ghost,
It vanished with a shriek of sorrow!
Thrice did the water wraith ascend,
And gave a doleful groan thro' Yarrow!
His mother from the window looked,
"With all the longing of a mother;
His little sister, weeping, walked
The greenwood pa(h to meet her brother.
They sought him east, they sought him west,
They sought him all the forest thorough;
They only saw (he cloud of night,"
They only heard the roar of Yarrow,
k
No longer from thy window lo<'k9
Thou hast no son, thou tender mother;
No longer walk, thou lovely maid,
Alas! thou hast no more a brother;
No longer seek him east or west,
And search no more the forest thorough,
For, -wandering in the night so dark,
He fell a lifeless corse in Yarrow.
The tear shall never leave my cheek, -"
No other youtli shall be my marrow;
I II seek thy body in the stream,
And then with thee I 11 sleep in Yarrow!
The tear did never leave her cheek,
No other youth became her marrow,
She found his body in the stream,
And now -with him she sleeps in Yarrow!

And echo cons the doolfu' talc;

Hut the lov'd scenes may vainly smile , They hear the wild winds murmuring shrill,
Not e'en thy dust is there. And all is hush'd again.
Thy bard his pealing harp has broke;
His /ire, his joy of song, is past;
One lay to mourn thy fate he woke.
His saddest, and his last.
No other theme to him is dear

New Holland is a barren place,
In it there grows nac grain,
Nor ony habitation,
Wherein for to remain;
But the sugar canes are plenty,
And the wine rt rap's frae the tree;
But the lawlands o' Holland
Hae twined my love and me.
My luve he built a bonnie ship,
And sent her to the sea,
Wi1 seven— score brave mariners
To bear her companie;
Threescore g-aed to the bottom,
And threescore died at sea,
And the lawlands o' Holland
Hae twined my luve and me.
My luve has built anither ship,
And se-tft her to the main,
He had but twenty mariners,
And a' to bring- her hame;
The stormy clouds did roar again,
The raging waves did. rout,
And my ltrve, and his bonnie ship,
Turn'd widdershins about.

When Jamie first did woo -me,
I speir'd whatwas his calling:
"Fair maid, says he, O rome and see;
Te're -welcome-to my dwalling."
Tho' I was shy, ye*- 1 could spy
The truth of what'he told me,
And that his house was warm and < oulli,
And room in it to hold me .
Behind the door a bag of meal,
And in the kist was plenty
Of good hard cakes, his mither bakes,
And bannocks -were na scanty;
\ good fat sow, a sleeky cow
Was standing in the byre ;
While lazy pnss -with mealy mouse
» Was playing at the fire.
G-pod sig-ns are these1, my mither says,
And bids me tak the miller;
For foul -day ftnd fair day
He's ay bringing till her;
For meal and mant she does na want,
Nor ony thing thats dainty,
And now and then a keekling- hen
To lay her eggs in plenty.
In winter,when the wind and rain
Blaws o'er the house and byre,
He sits beside a clean liearth-stane,
Before a ronsing fire:
His canty wife has a' things right,
A supper warm and sappy;
Wha'd be a King, a petty thing,
When a Miller lives sae happy?

For conscience sake, they stoutly stood;

Themselves have shed their injured blood.

For heirs of ancient royalty,

There rose and lily, the hale spring,
Around her face for sweetness speed.

When she appears, the moon looks dead.
As when Sol lifts his radiant head.

No more the trumpet calls to arms,
Ay.-aki.nfj battles fierce alarms;
But every heroes bosom warms
With song's of exultation.
While brave Lochicl at length regains,
Thro1 toils of -war, his native plains,
And won by glorious wounds, attains,
His high paternal station.
M'.' I. cod, M'J Donald, join the strain,
M'. TMicrson, Fraser, and M'.- Lean,
Thro all jour bounds let gladness reig'n,
Botii prince and patriot praising »•
Whose generous bounty richly pours
The streams of plenty round vour shores.
To Scotia's hills their pride restores,.
Her faded honours raising.
Let now the voice of joy prevail,
And echo wide Irom hill to vale>
Ye warlike Clans, arise, and hail
Your laurell d Chief's returning.
Oir ev'ry mount ain,cvry isle,
Let peace in all her lustre smile,
\nd discord ncer her day defile
With sullen shades of mourning'.
Let all the joyous hancjuet share,
Nor eer Jet Gothic grandeur dare,
With scowling brow, to overbear
A vassals rights invading;
Let freedoms conscious sons disdain
To croud his fawning timid train,
Nor even own his haughty reign,
Their dignity degrading.
Ye northern Chiefs, whose rage,tmbroke,
Has still repcll'd the tyrant., shock,
Mho ncer ha\e bowd beneaih her yoke
With servile base prostration ;
Let each now train his trusty band,
'G-ainst foreign foes alone to stand,
With undivided heart and band
For freedom, king" and nation.

-The braes o' gle.^iffer.
Keen blaws die wind o'er the hracs o» Gleniffcr,
Tlie auld castle's turrets arc cover d wi' snm;
How chang'd frae the time when 1 met wi* my lover
Ainanff the broom bushes by Staiilcy_gTceii shaw .
The wild flow'rs o' simmer -were spread a' sae bonny,
The Mavis sang- sweet frae the green birken tree;
But far to the camp they hae march'd my dear Johnny,
An' now it is -winter wi' nature an' me .
Then ilk thing around us was hlythsome an' cheery;
Then ilk thing around us was bonny an' braw;
Now naething- is heard but the -wind -whistling- dreary,
An' naething is seen but the wide—spreading- snaw .
The trees are a' hare, an' (lie birds mute an' dowic,
They shake the eauld drill frae their wing's as they fltcj
An' cliirp out their plaints, seeming- wae for my Johnn3 ;
'Tis winter wi' them, an' 'tis winter wi' me.

Yon cauld sleety cloud skiffs alang the bleak mountain,
An' shakes the dark firs on the stey rocky brae,
Wliilc down the deep glen bawls the .snaw— flooded fountain,
That murmur'd sac sweet to my .laddie an' mc:
'Tis no its loud roar on the wintry win' swelling;
It's no the cauld blast brings the tears i' my e'e,-
For, O ! gin I saw but my bonny Scotch callan,
The dark days o' winter were simmer to me.

Since gloomy K.crbar wrought his fall ;

Ours is no sapling', chance- sown by tbe fountain,
Blooming at Beltane, in "Winter to lade;
Wben the whirlwind has stripp d evry leaf on the monntain,
The more shall Clan-Alpine exult in her shade.
Moorjd in the rifted rook,
Proof to the tempests shock;
Firmer he roots him the ruder it blow;

Y.t ho his jiraise agcn,
"Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu, ho! icroe!
Proudly our pibroch has thrilld in Glen Kruin,
And Banoehars groans to our slogan replied;
Glen Loss and Ross-dhxr, they are smoking in ruin,
And the best of Loc h-Lomond lie dead on her side.
Widow and Saxon maid
Long shall lament our raid,
Think of Clan-Alpine with (car and with woe;

Stretch to your oars for the ever green pine.
O. that the rose-bud that graces yon islands,
Wire wreathed in a garland around him to twine;
O that some seedling gem,
Worthy such noble stem,
Honoured and blessed, in their shadow might grow.
Loud should Clan Alpine then
Ring from her inmost glen,

Same Air.
Gihlcroy was a bonny boy,
Had roses (ill his shoon;
His stocking* were of silken soy,
Wi' garters banging down:
It was, I wccne, a comlie sight,
To sec sac trim a boy
He was my joy and heart's delight,
My winsome Gilderoy.
Oh! sic twa charming een be bad,
Breath sweet as ony rose;
He never «orc a Highland plaid,
But costly silken clothes:
He gain'd the luve of auld and young,
Nane e'er to him was coy;
AJ»! wac is me. I mourn the day,
For my dear Gilderoy.
My Gilderoy and 1 were born
Baitb in ae toun thegither;
We scant were seven years beforn
We gan to luve ilk itlier;
Our daddies and our mammies they
Were (ill! I wi' meikle joy,
To think upon the bridal-day
Of me and Gilderoy.
For Gilderoy, that hive of mine,
Wi' joy, 1 freely bought
A wedding"- sark of bolland fine,
Wi' dainty ruffles wrought:
And be gied me a wedding-ring,
Which 1 rcceiv'd wi' joy?
N"ae lad nor lassie e'er could sing
Like me and Gilderoy.
Oh. that he still bad been content
Wi' nic to lead bis life;
But, ah! his manfu' heart was benl
To stir in feats of strife.
And he, in mony a ventVous deed,
His courage bauld wad try,
Ami this now g'ars my heart to bleed
For my dear Gilderoy.
My Gi'''er">'» baitb far and near,
Was fcar'd in ev'ry town,
And bauldly bare awal the gear
Of mony a law land loun:
For man to man durst meet him nane.
He was so brave a boy;
At length wi' numbers he was tane,
My winsome Gilderoy.
The Queen of Scots possessed nought
That my love lef ine want;
For cow and ewe he brought to me,'
And een -when they were scant.
All these did honestly possess,
He never did annoy,
Who never fatld to pay rbeir cess"**
To mv love Gilderoy.
"Wae worth Hie loans that made the laws
To bang a man for gear,
To 'reave of life for sic a cause
As stealing linrse. or mare;
Had not their laws been made sae strii k
I ne'er bad lost my joy;
"Wi' sorrow ne'er bad wat my cluck
For mv dear Gilderoy.
Gif Gilderoy had done amiss,
He might bae banish't been;
Ab! what sair cruelty is this,"
To bang sic handsome men.
To bang the flower o' Scottish land,
Sae sweet and fair a' boy;
Nae lady had sae fair a band
As thee, my Gilderoy.
Of Gilderoy sae feard were they,
Wi' irons bis limbs they strung,
To F.dinborow led him there
And on a Gallows hung.
They hung him high aboon the rest,
He was sae bauld a boy I
There died the youth whom I loed best.
My handsome Gilderoy.
And when of me bis leave he tttik.
The tears they wat my ee,
I gied Iii in sic a parting luik,
Sune as he yielded up bis breath,
1 bare his corse away;
Wi' tears, that trickled for bis death,
My benison gang wi' thee! I wash'd his comlie clay;
Now speed thee weil, mine ain dear heart, And si<ker,in a grave right deep,
For ganc is all my joy; I laid the dear-lued boy
My heart is rent, sith we maun part, And now for ever I maun weep
My handsome Gilderoy! My winsome Gilderoy.

A leal, light heart was in my breast -
My hand unstain'd wi' plunder;
And for fair Scotia, hame again,
I cheery on did wander,
I thought upon the banks of Coil,
I thought upon my Nancy J
I thought npon the witching smile
That caught my youthful fancy.
At length I reaeh'd the bonny gl^n,
Where early life I sported ;
I pass'd the mill, and trysfing thorn,
Where Nancy aft I courted:
Wha spied I but my ain dear maid ,
Down by her mother's dwelling;
And rurn'd me round to hide the flood
That in my een was swelling.
Wi' alter'd voice, quoth I , 'sweet lass,
Sweet as yon hawthorn's blossom,
O: happy, happy may he be,
That's dearest to thy bosom.
My purse is light, Ive far to gang,
And fain wad be a lodger;
Ive servd my Icing' and country lang.;
Take pity on a sodger'.
Sae wistfully she gaz'd on me,
And lovelier was than ever;
Quo' shc^'a sodger ance I lo'ed,
Forget him shall I never:
Our humble cot and hamely fjre,
Ye freely shall partake o't-
That gallant badge, the dear cockade,
Ye're welcome for the sake o't'.'
She gaz'd, she reddend like' a rose,
Syne pale as ony lily, ■
She sank within my arms, and cried,
"Art thou my ain dear Willy*"'
By him who made yon sun and sky,
Bv whom true love's regarded,
I am the man , and thus may still ,
True lovers be rewarded !
The wars are o'er and Im come hame,
And find thee still true— hearted :
Tho' poor in gear,.we're rich in love,
And mair we.'se ne'er be parted'.
Quo' slitt'my Grandsire left me goud,
A mailin plenish'd fairly J
And come, my faithful sodger lad,
ThouVt welcome to it dearly!'
For gold the merchant ploughs the main,
The farmer ploughs the manor!,
But glory is the sodger's prize,
The sodger's wealth is honour.
The brave poor' sodger ne'er despise,
Nor count him as a stranger,
Remember he's his country's stay.
In day and hour of danyer .

Nainsell "was trovingcows, man;
There was nae laws about him then,
About the preeks,or trews, man.
Fa la, ic.
Nainsell did wear the philabeg,
T< plaid priek't on her shoulder;
Tc guid claymore hungpe her belt,
Tf pistol shared wi' ponder.
Fa la, Src.

Te sodger dwall a't our toor-sheek,
An' tat's te great vexation.

Scotland be .tnrn't a Ningland now,
And laws bring on te cadger:
Nainsell wad dark her for her deeds,
Buf,oh; she fears te sodger.

Tey mak a lang road on te grand.
An' ca' him Turnimspike, man.
Fa la, Arc. '
An' wow', she pe a ponny road,
Like Louden corn-rigs , man;
Where twa carts may gang on her,
An' no break ithers legs, man.
Fa la, Ac.
Tey sharge a penny for ilka horse.
In troth, she'll no pe sheaper,
For nought put-gaen upo' tc grund.
An' tey gie me a paper.
Fa la, if.
Nae doubts, Nainsell maun fra her pursr ,
An' pay him what hims like, man;
I'll see a shugement on his four..
Tat filthy Turnimspike, man!
Fa la, A< .
But I'll awa to te Highland hills
Where neer a anc flare turn her,
An' no come near her Turnimspike,
Unless it pe to purn her.

To meet General McCartney&Lord Mohoun, Till my last drop of blood be spent ,
Fal lal,ic. Fal lal,&c.
The Colonel replies, I am your slave, Then these Heroes swords were dravin,
Fal lal, Arc. Fal lal, &x.
To follow your Grace unto the grave, And so lustily they both fell on,
Fal lal,&c. Fal lal, Arc.
Then they took Coach without delay, Duke Hamilton thrust with all his might,
And to Hyde Park by break of day, Unto Lord Mohoun thro' his body quite',
O there began the bloody fray, And sent him to eternal nigh t ,
Fal lal,&c. Fal lal, &c .
No sooner out of Coach they light, By this time his Grace had got a wound,
Fal lal,&c. Fal lal,ic.
But Mohoun and M'.Cartney came insight, Then on the grass as he sat down
Fal lal, Arc. Fal lal,&c.
No sooner out of Coach they light, Base Mf.' Cartnoy,as we. find ,
But Mohounand M'Cartney came in sight, Cowardly,as he was inclined,
O then began the bloody fight, Stabb'd his Grace the Duke behind,
Fal lal,&c. Fal lal,&c.
This done the traitor ran away,
Fal lal, &c.
And was not heard of for many a day,
Fal" lal, &c.
In christian land let's hoar no more
Of duelling, and human gore}
The story's told, I say no more,
But,fal lal, &c.

She's sweet as the ev'ning amang the new hay:
As hlythe an' as artless as the lamhs on the lee,
And dear to my heart as the light to my e'e.
But 0I1! she's .in heiress, auld Robin's a laird,
And my daddie has nought but a cot-house and yard;
A wooer like me maunna hope to come s\>eed,

O Ellenorc, my bride-
How can ye fear, when my mcrrvmtn a'

The moon was hid, the nigiit was sped,
But Ellenore's heart was wac,
She heard the cock flap his siller w iuir'j
An' she watch'd the mornin ray:
"Rise up, rise up, Lord Ronald dear,
The mornin opes it's ee,
O speed thee t«» thy father's towj-,
And sale, safe, may thou be..
But there was a Pag-e, a little fa use Page,
Lord Ronald did espy,
An*1 he lias told his Baron all,
Where the hind and hart did lie.
'"'It is na for thee, but thine, Lord Ronald,
Thy father's deeds o' weir,
But since the hind has come to my faul,
His blood shall dim my spear"
Lord Ronald kissd fair Ellcnore,
And press d her lily hand;
Sic a comely kniglit, and comely d.tnit ,
Ne'er met in wedlocks band :
But the Baron wateh.it, as lie raisd the lat<h.
And kiss'd ag"ain his bride ;
And with his spear, in deadly ire,
He piere'd Lord Ronalds side.
The Hie blood fled frae fair Ellcnore's check.
She- lookd all wan and ghast,
She leand her down by Lord Ronalds side,
An** the blood was rinnin fast t
Slie kissd his lip o' the deadlic hue,
But Ids lift she coudna stay}
Her bosom throbrl ac dcadlie throb,
An1 their spirits haith fled away.

Wi' tunefu' throats and marrow,

Till faild she fa's in Leader— haughs,
And bids fareweel til -Yarrow,

Yet when she irks, to Kaidsly birks The burds that flee thro' Redpath trees,

That she should leave sweet Leader haugtis. May chant and sing sweet Leader-h.iut.hv
And canna win to Yarrow. And bonny howms o' Yarrow.
What sweeter music wad ye hear,

The started hare rins hard wi' fear,
Upon her spied relying;
Puir beast, her strength it gaes at length,
Nae bieldin can she borrow
In Sorrel's fields, Cleekman or Hags
And langs to be in Yarrow.

To see the changes o' this age,

\nd syne he b reived a black revenge,
And syne he vow'd a vow.

'Vow bide at hame, my lnvc, my life,
I warde ye bide at hame:
O gang- nac to this day's hunting-,
"To leave me a' my lane?'
"Zcstreen'e, zestreene, I dream't my bower
O' red red bludc was f n' :
G-in ye gang- to this black hunting,

'Qnha luiks to dreams, my winsome dame?
Ze hae nae cause to fearc.
And syne he's kisf her comely theek,
And syne the starting tear;

And syne he's ganc to the guid g-reenwoodc,
And she to her painted bower,
And she's gard steels doors , windows , yetts ,
Of castcllc,ha', and tower.
They steeked doors, they steeked yetts,
Close to the cheek and chin;
They steeked them a' but a little wicket,
And Lammikin crap in .
"Now quharis the Ladye o' this Castelle,
Nurse tell to Lammikin ?"'
'She's sewing up infill her bowir;'
The fals Nursie sung1.
Lammikin nipped the tunnie babe,
Qnhile lond fals Nursic sung;
Lammikin nipped the bonnie habe,
Quhile hich the red blade sprung.
"O jrentil Nxirsie! please my bairn,
O please him wi' the keys','
1 U "II no be pleased, gay ladye,
Gin Id sit on my knees."
fc'Gude g-entil Nursie, please my babe 5
O please him wi' a knife."
' He winna be pleased, mistress myne,
G-in I wad lay down my life.'
"Sweet Nnrsie, lond, lond cries my bairn,
O please him wi' a belli'
He winna be pleased, gay ladye,
Till ye com down yonrsel .'
And qnhen she saw the red, red blade,
A loud scrich scriched she,
O monster, monster spare my bairn,
Wha never skaithed thee!
"O spare, gif in yere bluidy briest,
Alhergs not heart o' stane !
0 spare ! and ye sail hae o' gowd
Quhat ze can Carrie hame?'
Dame, I want not your gowd' he said-
Lame,! w'dnf not your fee;
1 hae been wranged by your Lord ,
Ze sail black vengeance drie.'
Earl Robert he came hame at night,
And a' was dark around;
But when he came to his castelle,
Owre miekle light he found.
O lang, lang, may Earl Robert rue,
He paid nae masons hyre,
Ladye and Heir he saw nae mair,
His castelle rockit wi' fyre.

When bonny young Jnhnnyram o'er the sea, They said I had neither cownurcanf
He said he saw nai thing -sae lovely as me; Nor dribbles of drink rins thro' the draff,
Hehechf me baith rings andmony bra' things : Nor pickles of meal rins thro' the mill e'e:
And werc-na my heart light I wad die. And were-na my heart light I wad die.
Hehadawee titty that loed na me, • His titty she was baith wylie and slee,
Because I was twice as bonny as she; She spy'd me as I came o'er the lee,
She rais'd sic a p'other'twixt him and his mother, And then she ran in and made a loud din,
That werc-na my heart light I wad die . Believe your ain e'en, an ye trow na me.
The day it was set, and the bridal to be, His bonnet stood ay fir' round onhisbrow;
The wife took a dwam, and lay down to die; His auld ane looks ay as well as some's new,
She main'd and she graindont of dolour and pain, But now he lit s't wear onygate it will hing.
Till he vowd he never wad see me again. And casts himsel dowie trpo' the eorn-bing .
His kin was for ane of a higher degree,
Said, what had he to do with the like o' me?
Albeit I 'was bonny, I was— na for Johnny:
And were-na my heart light I wad die.
And now he gaes drooping about the dj lies,
And a'. he dowdo is to hund the tykes •
The live-lang night he neer steeks his e'e,
And were-na my heart light I wad die .
Were I young for thee,as I hae been,
We should hae been galloping down on yon green,
And linking- it on the lily-white lee;
And,wow,gin I were but young for thee!

Some gloomy place I'll find.
Some doleful shade,
■Where neither sun nor wind
F. er entrance had:
Into that hollow cave,
There will I sigh and rave,
Because thou dosf behave
So faithlessly.
Wild frnit shall be my meat;

Cold earth shall be my seat :
For covering
I'll have the starry sky
My head to canopy,
Until my sonl on high
Shall spread its wing.
I 11 have no funeral fire,
Nor tears for me ;
No grave do I desire,
Nor obsequie .
The courteous red — breast,he
With leaves will cover me,
And sing my elegy
With doleful voice.
And when a ghost I am ,
I'll" visit thee,
O thou deceitful dame,
Whose cruelty
Has kill'd the kindest heart
That e'er felt Cupid's dart,
And never can desert
From loving thee.

She didna blame the bonnie do'c,
But sair- she blamed Sir David Graeme,

An' 0,alatkj she said, ah sighed,
".Sure evrry heart is blythc but mine.

He swore by moon an' stars sae brig-ht ,
An' by their bed o' grass sae green ,
To meet her there onLammas nig-hf,
Whatever dang-ers lay between .
To risk his fortune and his life,
To bear her frac- her Father's ha';
To g"i'c her a' the lands o'Drife,
An' wed wi' her for gude an' a'.
The day arrivc-d , the evening* came,
The Lady looked wi' wistful e'e, '
But,0, alack; her noble Graeme,
Frac e'en to morn,she could na see.
An' ilka day she sat an' grat,
An' ilka nig-ht she sat an'wToug-ht,

But b9 the cause she never thought .
The Sun had drunk frac Reider fells,..
"His beverag-e o' the morning' dewj.
The w-ild fowl slumbered in the dells,
The heather hung- its bells o' blue .
The lambs were skipping- on the brae,
In airy notes the shepherd sung-;
The laverock hail'd Hit jocund day-
Till ilka thicket sweet I j rung".
The do'e sat .on the window tree,
An' held a lock o' yellow hair;
She perclied upon the Lady's knee,
An' carefully she placed it there .
VVha can this mean, it is' the same,
Or en.se my senses me beguile;
This lock belonged to Da\id Graeme,

She lighted on the hally tap,
An' c ried/curdoo' an' hung" he-F winy;

In days of yore ye were renown d -,
Conspicuous was your fame ;
All nations they did honour you,
Your loyalty proclaim.
Ye did your ancient rights mantain,
And liberty defend,
And scorn^l to have' it said, that you
On Kngland wou'd depend .
But now, alas ! your case is changd,
You're wretched and forlorn;
"The hardships now impos d on you,
By slaves are only borne .
Oh,Calcdoni oh,Caledon!
It grieves me sair, to think
That thy sad story written is
With blood, instead of ink..
f
How oft have our forefathers bled
In Liberty's defence'
And shall we have it stol'n away
By Ocrman Influence?
The price of so much Scot ish blood
Shall we consent to tine?
And will we not, alas! reflect
On auld lang—sync ?
When1 great Sir William Wallace liv'd,
And his accomplices , -
Scotland he undertook to free,
^Wlien she was in distress .
Likewise Sir James, the black Douglas,
Who liv'd in Brace's reign;
These men spard not their blood to spill,
Kor auld lang_syne .
Scotland, what will become of thee,
When Kngland sits thy judge?
Thy banish'd Prince, so long from home,.
O; where is thy refuge?
To ruin thee, 'tis plainly seen,
Must be their black design;
And will you not, alas, reflect
On auld lang—sync ?
Sir John the Gra nic , of lasting fame,
Shall never be forg'ot;
He was an honour; to his name,
A brave and valiant Scot .
The- g-re-at Montrose, the brave Dundee,
Were heroes in their time;
They spar'd not ev'n their mother's sons
For auld lang_syne .
Thc-n. let the ever glorious name-
Of Wallace lead you on;
Wallace, to save his Country, oft
F.ngag'd near ten to one :
Then, rouse, my valiant Scotish lads,
Behave yourselves like men,
And Scotland yet again shall see
Her auld lang_syne .

Their plaids all their bosoms were folded around;
They mareh'd all in silence .they looked on the ground.
In silence they reach'd over mountain and moor,
To a heath where the oak-tree grew lonely and hoar:
'Now here let us place the grey stone of her cairn:
Why speak ye no word? — said Glenara the stern.
And tell me, I charge you. ye clan of my spouse,
Why fold je your mantles? why cloud ye your brows?'1
So spake the rude chieftain no answer is made,
But each mantle, unfolding;, a dagger display'd .
I dreamt of my lady, I dreamt of her shroud',
Cried a voice from the Kinsmen, all wrathful and loud;
'And empty that shroud, and that coffin did seem,
Glenara I Glenara ! now read me my dream I'
O!
pale grew the cheek of that chieftain I ween,
When the shroud was unclos'd and no lady was seen,
When a voice from the Kinsman spoke louder, in scorn,
'Twas the youth who had lovM the fair Ellen of Lorn.
"I dreamt of my lady, I dreamt of her grief,
I dreamt that her lord >vas a barbarous chief;
On a rock of the ocean fair Ellen did seem,
Glenara! Glenara! now read me my dream''
i
In dust, low the traitor has knelt to the jrround ,
And the desert reveal'd, where his lady was found;
From a rock off the ocean that beauty was borne;
Now joy to the house of fair Ellen of Lorn .

Ah! little thought we 'twas our last.

The fragrant birch and hawthorn hoar,
Twin'd amorous round the rapturd scene:
The flowers sprung wanton to be prest,
The birds sung love on every- spray,
Till too, too soon, the glowing west
Proclaim'd the speed of winged day.

And fondly broods, with miser care;
Time but th'impression, stronger makes,
As streams their channels deeper wear.

''Rise tip, rise up, my seven sons bold,
And pat on your armour so bright;
And take better care of your youngest sister.
For your cldcst's awa the last night.
He's mounted her on a milk_white steed,
And himself on a dapple grey,
With a bugle horn hung down by his side,
And lightly they rode away.
Lord "William lookit o'er his left shoulder.
To see what he could see,
And there he spierl her seven brethren bold,
Come riding' over the lee.
"Light down, light down,. Lady Marg-aret',' he said,
"And hold my steed in your hand,
TTntil that against your seven hrethren bold
And your Father I make a stand?'
She held his steed in her milk_white hand ,
And never- shed a tear,
rTntil that she saw her seven brethren fa'.
And her Father who lovd her. so dear .

"O hold your, hand Lord William! she said
"For your strokes they are wondrous sair^
True lovers I can get mony a ane ,
But a Father I never can get mair'.'
O she's- tat n oat her handkerchief,
It was <>' the Holland sae fine,
And ay she dighted her Father's bloody wounds,
f That were redder far than the "Wine.
'O chuse, Ochuse, Lady Margaret,' he said,
'O, whether will ye gang or hide?'
"Til gang, I'll gang; Lord William',' she said;
— . For ye ha'e left me nae other guide'.'
He's lifted her on her milk-white sit cd ,
And himself on his 'daj)|>le grey,
With a Bugle horn hung down h'y his side,
And slowly they haith ratle away .
O' they rade ;on, and on the ratle, t_
"And . a?. ,\iy the light o' the moon,
Until they cam to yon wan wafer,
And there they lighted down .
They lighted down to tak a drink,
Of the spring that ran sae clear,
And down the stream ran his gutle hearts hliidt ,
And sair she gaun to fear. -
O they rade on, and on the rade}'^
And fair and clear ^shone the moon,
And weary they cam to his mither's: lluur,
And there they lighted them down.
Lord William was dead lang ere midnight,
Lady Margaret lahg "ere day
And all true lovers, that gang thegither,
May they hae mair lock tlra-n 4hey.
Lord William was huried in St Marie's kirk,
Lady Margaret in Marie's quire,
Out o' the lady's grave grew a honny red rose,
And out o' the knight's a hricr
But hye and rade the Black Douglas,
And vow hut he -was rough!
For he pned up the honny hrier,

He wood her butt, he wood her ben,
He woo'd her in the ha',
rintill he got this Lady's ronseit
To mount, and to ride m,
'Cast aff, cast aff, my May Oolvin,
All, and your embroidered shnne;
For they are o'er g<>- d,and oer rostly,
To rot in the salt sea foam'.'
He went down to her Father's bower,
"Where a' the steeds did stand,
And he's tane ane o' the best steeds
That was in her Fathers hand .
'0,turn ye about, O false Sir John,
And ltiik to the leaf o' the tree;
For it never became a gentleman
A naked woman to see.'
And he's pot on, and she's got on,
And fast as they could flee,
TJntill they came to a lonesome parr,
A- rock by the- side of the sea .
He turnd himself straight round about.
To ltiik to the leaf o' the tree;
So swift as May Colvin was
To throw him into the sea.
'Loup aff the steed',' says false Sir John; "O help! O help! my May Colvin;
"Your bridal here yon see; O help! or else I'll drown;
For I have drowned seven young Ladies, I'll tak ye hame to your Fathers bower.
The eight ane yon shall be. And set yon down safe and sonnd'.'
'Past aff, cast aff,my May Colvin,
All, and your silken gown;
For 'tis o'er good, and o'er costly,
To rot in the salt sea foam.
Nne help, nae help, yon false Sir John;
Nar hclp,tho'I pity thee,
Tho1 sev< n knightsdatig-hters you have drown'd,
But the eight shall not be me,'
So she went on her Father's steed,
As swift as she could flee;
And- she came hame to her Father's bow'r
Afore the break o'day.

How sweet to hear, from yonder hill,

How sweet to hear from yonder grove.

While, bless'd with thee, I fondly rove

Tho* boundless oceans roll between,
ft certain, that liis heart is near,
A conscious transport g-lads the scene,
Soft is the sigh, and sweet the tear.
Ken, when hy Death's cold liand remov'd ,
We mourn the tenant of the tomb,
To think, that e'en in death he lov'd,
Can cheer the terrors of the g-loom .
But bitter, bitter is- the tear
Of her, who slig-hfed rftVc bewails,
No hopes her gloomy prospects cheer,
No pleasing" melancholy hails .
Hers arc- the pangs of wounded pride-,
Of blasted hope, -and withe rd joy;
The prop she lean'!" on piercd her side,
The- flame she- fe-d burns to destroy.
In vain docs memory renew
Thij.- scenes once tiugd in transports dy
The sail reverse soon meets the view,
And turns the thoughts to agony.
K'en conscious virtue cannot cure
The pang to every feeling' Hue:
Ungenerous youth! thy boast how poor.
To win a heart and break it too.
■Hope, from its only anchor -torn,
Neglected, and neglecting all,
Friendless, forsaken, and forlorn,
The tears I shed must ever fall. .

"Where will I get a bonny hoy,
That will win hose and shoon;
That will "gae to Lord Barnard's ha',
And hid his lady com.'
Ye maun rin this, errand, Willie;
Antl ye maun rin wi' speed;'
When other hoys gae on their feet.
On horsehaek ye sail ride.1'
'Oh no! Oh n«! my master dear!
I dare nae for my life;
I 11 nae gae to the bauld haron's,
For to tryst furth his wife?
"My bird,Willic, my boy,Willie;
My dear Willie}' he said,
"How can ye strive against the stream?
For I sail he obcy'd."
'But, Oh my master dear!' he cry'd,
'In greenwood yeVe your lain;
Gie o?er sic thoughts, I wou'd ye red,
For fear ye shou'd he ta'en'.
"■Haste, haste, I say, gae to the ha',
Bid her come here wi' speed:
II ye refuse my high command,
I'll gar thy body bleed.
"Gae hid her tak this gay mantel,
'Tis a' goud but the hem;
Bid her cum to the good green wood,
And bring' nane but her lain :
And there it is, a silken sark ,
Her ain hand scwd the sleeve;
/And bid her cum to Gil Morice,
Speer nac bauld barons leave'.

'Yes; I will gae your black errand,
Tho' it be to thy cost;
Sen ye by me will nae be warnd,
In it ye sail find frost .
The baron he's a man of might.
He ne'er could 'bide a taunt,
As ye will see before it's nighty .
How sma' ye'll hac to vaunt.
'Now, sen I maun your errand rin,
Sae sair against my will,
Is inak a vow, and keep it trucj
It sal be done for ill'.
And when he came to broken brigg,
He bent his bow and swam;
And when he came to grass growing-,
Set down his feet and ran.
And when he came to Bernard's ha1,
Wau'd neither chap nor ca';
Bot set his bent bow 'to his breast,
And lightly lap the wa'.
He wau'd tell nae man his errand,
Tho' twa stood at the gate;
Bot straight into the ha' he cam,
Whair. grit folks sat at meat.
'Hail! hail! my gentle sire and dame.
My message winna wait;
Dame, ye maun to the green wood gang,
Before that it be late;
Ye're bidden tak this gay mantel,
'Tis a' groud but the hem;
Y.>u maun gae to the gudc green wood
Ev'n by your sell alane.

'And there it is, .< silken nark,
Your ain hanil sewTl (lie sleeve:
Ye maim gae. speak to Gil Morice
Spcir nae hauld baron's leavel
The lady stamped wi' licr foot,
And winked wi' her eye;
But a' that she coud say or do,
Forbidden he wad nac be.
"It's surely to my bowV— woman;
It ne'er could be to me?'
'I brought it to Lady Barnard,
I trow that ye b<- she'.
Then up and spake the- wylie imrsc,
Tiie bairn upon her knee,
"If it be come frae Gil Morice,
It's dear welcome to me''
*Yc Kid, ye lciel, ye filthy nurse,
Sac louds I hear ye lie;
I brought it to Lady Bernard:
1 trow ye be na she.'
Then up and spake the hauld baron,
An angry man was he ;
He's ta'cn the table wi' his foot,
In flinders gart a' flee.
'Gac bring a robe of yon eliding,
That hings upon the pin;
And III gae to the good green wood,
.And speak with \oiir lcnian.'
*'0,bide at hanvc now, lord Barnard.
, I warn ye bide at bamei
Ne'er wytc a man tor violence,
That ne'er wyte ye wi' nane.'
Gil Morice sits in good green wood,
He whistl'd and he sang;
\0" what means a' these folks coming.
My mother tarries langV
When Lord Barnar<l to greenwood came,
Wi meikle dule and care;
There first he saw youngGil Morice
Kerning bis yellow hair.
Nae wonder, sure, Oh Gil Morice,
My lady lo'edye weel,
The fairest part of my body
Is blacker than thy heel.
Yet nevertheless, now Gil Morice,
FVir a' thy great beauty,
Ye's rue the day ye e'er was born;
Thy head sail gae wi' me 1
Now he has drawn his trusty brand,
And slait it on the strac:
And thro' Gil Morice fair body
He's gard cairld iron g'ae.
And he has ta'cii Gil Morice' head,
And set it on a spear;
Thc-nrearicst man in a' his train
Has trot that head to bear.
And he has ta'en Gil Morice up,
Laid him across his steed,
And brought him to his painted bow'r,
And laid him on a bed.
The lady on the castle wa'
Beheld haith dale -on! down,
Anil there she saw Gil Morice' head
Come trailing to the town.
"Far tnair I loe that bloody head,
Bot and that vcllow hair*
Than Lord Barnard, and a' his. lands,
As they lie here and there.
Oft have I by th\ cradle s^t ,
And loudly seen.theesU t p;
But now- fil go about thy g'raVe,
The sa't- tears for to -weep."
Aiid-s\iic she kissd his bloody cheek, ■
Anel sync his hlnod-y ehi.o; '
"Better I lo'e, mv son Morice,
Than a' my kith and kin!''
'Away, away, ve ill woman I
An ill death mait ye ilie;
Gin I had ken'el he'd been your son,
He'd ne'er been slain lor me.?
"Upbraid me- not, my bi.nl Barnard,
Upbraid me not, for shame! .
Wi' that same- spear. *> pierce mv heart;
And put me qut o' pun.
Since naitliing but Git'Morice* head
Thy jealous rage cou 1*1 "quell.
Let tli.ii same hand now take her life,
That ne"ei to idee did ill .
"To me nae after elays~"nor nights'
Will e'er be salt or kind;
I'll lill the air \e itli heavy sighs,
And greet till I am blind."
'F.lioiigh o' blood byhic's been spilt;
Seek not your eleath frae me; .„
I rather it hael been myscll,
Than either him or thee".
'With waetu'wae I hear your plaint;
Sair, sair I rue the deed,
That e'er this cursed hanel of' mine
Did gar his body bleed.
Dry up your tears, my winseime elame ,
Ye neer <an hpal the wound;
You see his head upon my spear,
His heart's blood on the ground .
I curse the hanel that did the etccel ;
The heart that thought the ill;
The feet that bore me wi' sic speed
The comely youth te> kill;.
I'll aye lament for Gil Morice,
As gin he were my ain;
I'll ne'er forget the dreary elay -■
On which the youth was slain '
