Ft* Mariner $ of England.

*

Y e mariners o f E n g l a n d ,
That guard our native seas,*
W h o s e flag has braved a thousand yeats,
The battle and the breeze,
Y o u r glorious standard iaOiich again,,
T o match another foe,
A n d sweep through the deep,
W h i l e the stormy tempests bio*-,
W h i l e the battle rages loud and long,
A n d the stormv tempests blow.
T h e spirit of your fathers,
Shall start f r o m every wave,
F o r the deck it was their field o f fame^
A n d ocean was ifheir grave.
W h e r e Blake and mighty Nelson fell,
Y o u r manly hearts shall gin w
A s y e sweep through the deep,
W h i l e the stormy tempests blow,
W h i l e the battle rages loud and lung.
A n d the stormy tempests blow.
Britannia needs no bulwark,
N o towers alou^ the steep,
H e r march is o'er the mountain waves*
II tr home is on the deep.

�4
W i t h thunders from her native oak
She quells the floods below—
A s they roar, on the shore,
W h e n the stormy tempests blow,
W h e n the battle raises loud and Ionq\
And the stormy tempests blow.
T h e meteor flag of England
* Shall yet terrific burn,
Till danger's troubled night depart
And the star of peace return.
T h e n , then, ye ocean-warriors,
Our song and feast shall flow
T o the fame of your name,
When the storm has ceased to blow,
W h e n the fiery fight is heard no more)
A n d the starm has ceased to blow.

Washing Day.
T h e sky with clouds was overcast,
T h e rain began to fall,
M y wife she beat the children,
A n d raised a pretty squall:
She bade me, with a scolding look,
I V get out of the way ;
T h e de'il a bit of comfort is there
On a washing day.
For it is thump, thump, scoid, scold,
T h u m p thump away ;
T h e de'il a bit of comfort is there
0*3 a ?rashiag day.

�5
M y Kale she is a bonny wife,
There's none more free from evil,
Except upon a washing day,
And then she is a d e v i l ;
T h e very kittens on the hearth
They dare not even play ;
A w a y they j u m p with many a thump,
Upoai a washing day.
For it is thump, thump, he.
A friend of mine ©nee asked me,
" H o w long's poor Kate been dead
Lamenting the good creature,
A n d sorry I was wed
T o such a scolding vixen,
Whilst he had been at sea :
T h e truth it was, he chanced to come
Upon a washing day.
F o r it is thump, thump, &amp;c.
I asked him to stay and dine,—
" Come, come, 1 ' said I , " o d d s buds!
I'll no denial take—you shall,
Though Kate is in the suds."
But what he had to dine upas
In faith I shall not say ;
But I II wager hell no come again
Upon a washing day.
F o r it is thump, thump, &amp;«.
O n that sad morning, when I rise,
I make &amp; fervent prayer

�6
Unt6 the gods, that it may b*
Throughout the day quite fair;
That not a gown or handkerchief
May in the ditch be laid ;
F®r should it happen so, egad,
1 should -catch a broken head.
F o r it is thump, thump, he.

The Flower o Diimblane.
T h e Sun lias gane down o'er the lofty Ben-Lo*
mo rid,
A n d left the red clouds to preside o'er the
scene;
While lanely I stray in the cairn simmer g l o a m i n g
T o mnse on sweet Jessie, the ilower o' JDunibiane.
X) sweet fe' the brier wP its saft fatilding blossom,
And sweet is the birk wi' its mantle o ' green ;
Yet sweeter and fairer, and d e a r t h this bosom,
Is lovely young Jessie, the flower o' Dumblane;
"She s modest a^ ony, and lily the as she's-bonny,
For g o d d e s s simplicity mark* her its aih ;
A n d far be the villain divested o! feeling,
Wha'd blight, in its blossom, the (lower o'
Dumbiane.
: Sing Ofi, tlVoa sweet mavis, thy htnin to the e'eninf*
Thou'rt dear to the echoes of ,Calderwood glen ?
§ a e deir to this bosom, sae artless and winding,
i s charming young Jessie, the Howrr o' lAmi*
Wane,

�f
f l a w lost were my days till I met. will] my J e s s i ^
T h e sports of the city seeinM foolish and vain ;
I ne'er saw a nymph I would ca' my dear lassie,
"Till charm'd wi' svveet Jessie, the flowrr
Durnblane.
T h o ' mine were the statipn qf loftiest grandeur,
Amidst its profusion I'd languish iji paip ;
^n'd reckon as naething the height o r its splendour,
I f wanting sweet Jessie, the flawed a D u n b l a n e ,

The Woodpecker.
I knew by the smoke that so gracefully cnrJM
A b o v e the gre*^ eUn?*, thai a cottage was, near ^
A n d ' I said, if there's peace to be found in the
world,
A heart that is? humble mi^ht hope for it here.
Fvt'ry leaf was at rest; and I heard not.'a'sow:nih
But the woodpecker tapping the hollow beaefy
tree.
[And here, in this lone little wood,
^ With a maid who was lovely to
I Who would Mush wher; 1 praisYi
I folamxl ;
$ H o w blest could I live, and how
Every leaf, &amp;c.

J e^qlamfd,
son! and to e y e ;
her, and weep if
calm could I dle,

J By the side of yon .sumach, whose red berry dips
\ In the gush of the fountain 1 ow sweet to f e d ine,
Und to know that I sigh'd upc n innocent lips,
j W h i c h ne'er had been sighed on by any
mine,
Every
fcaf,
.

�Great Grow the Rashes.
Green grow the rashes, G !
Green grow the rashes, O !
T h e sweetest hours that e'er I spend,
A r e spent amang the lasses, O .
There's nought but eare on evVy han%
i n et'ry hour that passes, O :
W h a t signifies the life o' man,
A n ' 'twere na for the lasses, O.
Green growy&amp;c.
T h e warly race may riches chace,
And riches still may fly them, O ;
A n ' the at last they catch them fast,
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, CL
Green grow, &amp;c.
But gie me a canny hour at e'en,
M y arms about my dearie, O ;
A n ' warly cares, an' warly men,
M a y a' gae tapsalteerie, O .
Green grow, &amp;c.
F o r you sae douse, ye sneer at this,
Ye're nought but senseless asses, 0 :
T h e wisest man the warF e'er saw,
H e dearly lov'd the lasses, O.
Green grow, &amp;c.
Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears
H e r noblest work she classes, O :
H e r 'prentice han' she try'd on man,
A n d then she made the lasses, O.
Green grow, &amp;t\
