t e a s e , rud# Boreas, b l u r r i n g raUery
List ye landsmen all to me,
Messmates, hear a ^ r o f h e r sailor
Sing the dangers of the sea,
From bounding billows first in motioft,
When the distant whirlwinds rise,
To the tempest troubled oeean,
W h e r e the seas Contend with skies,
H a r k ! the boatswain hoarsely bawling,—*
By top sail sheets and hmulyards stand \
Down top-gallants quick be hauling!
Down your stay-sails, hand, boys, hand !
Now it freshens, set the braces ;
Q u i c k the top-sail sheets let go :
L u f f , boys, luff, don't m a k e Wry faces;
U p your top-saiis nimbly clew.
Now all you on down-beds sporting,
Fondly lock'd in beauty's arms,
Fresh enjoyments wanton courting,
Free from all but love's alarms,—
Roi;nd us roars the tempest loudet>
Think what fear our mint! enthralls :
Harder yet, it yet blows harder ;
Now again the boatswain calls.
T h e top-sail yards point to the wind, boys^
See all clear to reef each c o u r s e ;
Let the foresheets
; don't mind, boy-s,
Though the weather should be worse.
�Fore and $£t, the sprit-sail yard get ;
Reef the mi^eu ; see HI clear:
Hand up ! each preventer-brace get;
Man me lore-}!aid ; cheer, lads, cheer f
Now l d r e a d f u l thunders roaring !
Peais on peals contending clash !
On our heaus fierce rain falls pouring !
In our eyes blue lightnings flash !
One wide water all around us,
All above us one black sky !
PiiFYent deaths at once surround m 9
H a r k ! w h a t means that dreadful cry ?
T h e foremast's gone, cries e v ' r j tongue out,
O'er the lee, twelve feet 'hove deck;
A leak beneath the chest-tree's sprung o u t ;
Call ail hands to clear the wreck.
Quick the lanyards cut to pieces ;
Come, my hearts, be stout and bold ;
Plumb the well, the leak increases,
Four leet water in the hold.
"While o'er the ship wild waves are beating,
We for wives OF children mourn ;
A'as ! iff. m Ueuce there's no retrearing;
A1 as ! from hence there's no return.
Still the leak is gaining on us,
Both chain-pumps are chok'd beiow\
JrleavVi ha*e mercy now upon us !
V > only that, quti save us now }
%K

O'er the lee-beam is the land, hoys ;
Let (he guns oVrboard he thrown ;
T o the pump come every hand, hoys ;
See our mizen-mast is gone;
The leak we've found, it cannot pour fast :
We've lighten'd her a foot or more ;
Up, an(1 ri g a jury foremast ;
She rights, she rights, boys ! wear off shore.
Now once more on joys we're thinking,
Skice kind fortune spar'd our lives:
Come, the can, boys, let's he drinking
To our sweethearts and our .wives,
Fill it up, about ship wheel it ;
Close to th' lips a brimmer join ;
Where's the tempest now ? who feels it ?
None ! our danger's drovvxi'd in wine ?
Ally Croaker.
There lived a man in Kalena crazy,
W h o wanted a wife—to make him uneasy :
Long had he siglfd for ch ar Ally Croaker,
And thus the gentle youth bespoke her,
u
Will you marry me, dear Ally Croaker f , r
This artless young man just come from the
schoolery,
A novice in love and all its foolery ;
Too dull for a wit, too grave for a joker ;
And thus the gentleyOiuh bespoke her—
Will you marry
dear Ally QrOaker F
�5
He drank with the father, he talk'd with the
mother,
He rompt with the sister, he gam'd with the brother,
And gam\i till lie pawn'd his coat to the broker,
Which lost him the heart of his dear Ally Croaker.
Oh ! the fickle, fickle Ally Croaker.
To all you >oung men who are fond of gaming,
And losing your money while others are saving;
Fortune's a jiit, may the devil choak her,
A jilt more inconstant than dear Ally Croaker.
Oh ! the inconstant Ally Croaker*
The Boatie Roivs.
O weel may the boatie row.
And better may she speed ;
And iiesome may the boatie row,
That wins my bairns' bread ;
The boatie rows, the boatie rows,
T h e boatie rows indeed ;
And weel may the boatie row,
That wins my bairns' bread*
When Jamie vow'd he wad be mine;
And wan frae me my heart,
O muckle lighter grew my creel,
He swore we'd never part:
The boatie rows, the boatie rows,
The boatie rows fu* weel,
. And muckle lighter is the load,
Whan love bears up the creel.
�&
Wken> 8&vmey, <foek, an" Janetie^
Are up and gotten lair;
They'll help to
the boatie row,
And lighten a' our care.
The boatie rows, the boatie rows,
The boatie rows IV wtelv
And lightsome be her heart that- bears.
The murlain and the ereel.
And whan wi age we're worn down,
And ini'plirig round -the door,
They'll help to keep us dry and warr%
As we d i A t he m b e To re ;
Then weel may the boatie row,
She ivms the bairns* l>re ad ;
And happy be the lot d! a \
That wish the boatie speed.
Song of the Marmer.
Hurra ! &h>ng the foaming tide,
With wild waves dashing round,
With lurious speed I onwards ride,
And love the roaring sound.
Blow [ blow [ thou loud and fearful wind
Roil on thou an^ry sea !
I'll drink to. those I leave behind,—
111 drink, Joanne:, to thee t
0 I who would tremble at the storm,s
Or, like the coward, weep ?
I'd rather feel rriv bosom warm
At every lengthened sweep.
�7
The land is for the- dastard mirid,
Thv deep ! the deep ! for rue.—
Vl{ drink to those I ieave behind,
I'M drink, Joanne, to thee !
Love, clearest maid ! like mme ne'er shall
in empty words depart;
it still shall flourish fresh and fair
Within my faithful heart
Yes, there's a power who dwells above,
Who guards the brave and free,
He sees, and will reward our lo*e,
So here's a heaill) to thee !
f
March to the Batik Field.
March to the battle field,
The foe is now before us-:;
Each heart is freedom's shieldy
And heav'n is smiling o'er us.
T h e wees atid pai&s. t he galling chains*
VVliich kept -our spkits und e r,
in proud disdain we've broke again,
And tore each link asunder.
March to ibe battle field, &c.
Who, for bi,s country brave,
Wo i114 fly f r n rn. the in v ad er ?
W h o his -ba^e life to save,
Won 1 d traitor-jike -degrade her ?
Our hallow'd cause, our home and laws-,
'Gainst tyrant power s t a i n i n g ,
We'll gain a crown of bright renown,
'Or i e our rights maki^Hiitigv
March to the battie field,

Bonnie Mary Hay,
Bonnie Mary Hay J will loe thee yet,
For thy eye is the slae and thy hair is the j e t ;
The snaw is thy skin, and the rose is thy cheek,
Bonnie Mary Hay I will loe thee y e t
Bonnie Mary Hay will you gang wi- me,
When the sun's in tlie west, to the hawthorn tree,
T o the hawthorn tree in the bonnle berry den,
And I'll tell you, Mary, how I loe you then ?
Bonnie Mary Hay it's haliday to me,
When thou art coothie, kind, and free,
There's nae clouds in the lift, nae storms in the
sky,
.
Ronnie Mary Hay when thou art nigh.
Bonnie Mary Hay thou manna say me nay,
But come to the bow'r by the hawthorn brae,
But come to the bow'r, and I'll tell ye a' what's
true,
I ne'er can loe ony other but you.
The Hero may Perish.
The hero may perish, his country to save,
And he lives in the records of fame;
T h e sage may the dungeons of tyranny brave—•
Ever honoured and blest be his name 1
But virtue that silently toils or expires,
No wreath for the brow to entwine;
T h a t asks but a smile—but a fond sigh requires,
O woman ! that virtue is thine.
