THE traditions here, respecting the death of Marjory Bruce, are very scanty. It is said that in hunting, near Renfrew, her horse got entangled in a mire, or morass, by which she was violently thrown from her saddle, and that she immediately thereafter expired, having first given birth to a son, who was afterwards Robert 11. of Scotland. Her remains, and also her effigy, still lie in the Sounding Aisle of our Abbey Church. The effigy rests upon what was once, doubtless, the altar of the church. The place where she met her untimely death is still shown in a comer of one of the fields of the Knock Farm, and is, as described by Baston, on the slope of the hill looking towards Renfrew, and is still a mire. Till within these 40 or 50 years, a stone cross marked the fatal spot. This cross has been carefully, though unsuccessfully searched for by the present intelligent occupier of the Knock Farm. Marjory Bruce, along with her mother, was taken prisoner after the unfortunate battle of Methven, and carried into England. After the battle of Bannockburn, however, they were both released ; on which occasion Walter, the Lord High Steward of Scotland, who was much trusted by Bruce, and who commanded the centre wing of the Scotch army on that memorable occasion, was sent to meet them on the border, and conduct them to Stirling Castle, where the Scottish court then was. It was then, doubtless, that that mutual attachment was formed betwixt the hero and heroine of Baston's poem, which, in the following year, issued in their marriage. They had been married only about nine months, when the birth of a child, under the melancholy circumstances described, took place. From the consideration of this incident, we may exclaim with Cicero— " Quae eximia plerisque et prsaclara videntur, parva ducere." Had Marjory Bruce's horse fallen a little differently from what it did, the infant in the womb might have been destroyed. We would then have had no Stewart dynasty; and what the history of our country would then have been, who can conjecture ? How eventful! how instructive to princes and to nations, the history of that wide-spreading dynasty, from the time its first seed was dropped on the banks of the Cart, to the time its main stem was hewn down on the banks of the Boyne. P A I S L E Y , 1839. �THE DEATH OF MARJORY BRUCE. SOUTH BRIDGE, EDINBURGH, 17th N o v . , 1838. (To the Editor of the Paisley Advertiser.) SIR,—Having, recently, made a curious literary discovery, in connexion with your locality, I think it but fair that it should be put into your hands. Your readers are, in general, aware, that Edward the I I . , in that march into Scotland which terminated in the battle of Bannockburn, brought along with him a poet of the name of Baston, to celebrate in verse his anticipated victory ; and that this unlucky bard fell into the hands of the Scots, who punished him in a very appropriate way, by making him write a set of verses, in celebration of their victory over his countrymen. This poem still remains : beginning thus:— " De planctu cudo metrum cum carmine nudo, Risum retrudo, dam tali themate ludo." W e say all this is well known to most of your readers ; but few of them, we dare say, know that this Baston, during his abode in Scotland, had his domicile in the castle of Renfrew, the then principal seat of the Lord High Steward of Scotland: that he was residing there, when the death of his noble hostess took place, by her horse falling upon her as she �rode from Paisley homewards ; and that he composed a set of Latin verses on that melancholy occasion, in which he, most likely, describes what he had actually witnessed. Now we have had the good fortune to find a copy of these verses which had so long- remained concealed, though often sought for by our antiquaries. We have made a free translation of this poem. It is, perhaps, rather too long for your paper, but, if you choose, you may publish it. You must have still various floating traditions about the sad catastrophe to which it relates ; and it may be curious to compare these with the actual facts, as related by a competent eye-witness. Some useful conclusions might perhaps be deduced, on the nature of evidence from such a comparison. Yours, truly, GEORGE THOMSON. [The lamentable death of Marjory Bruce, daughter of King Robert the Bruce, and wife to Walter, the Lord High Steward of Scotland, which happened near to the Castle of Renfrew, on Mid-Summer eve, in the year 1316.] 'Twas even tide, the long bright day "Was passing like a saint away ; Still as it faded smiling meeker, And touched with raptures holier, deeper ; The sun ne'er built him fairer bowers, To linger out eve's farewell hours, The cloud-wove curtains of the sky, Were never dipped in richer die, And never did the peaks below Dissolve amid so bright a glow. From where the distant mountain's blue, Emboldening meets the verdant hue Of old Kilpatrick's woody slope, To the Mistilaw's lone, western cope, �The heavens a prophet's vision seems, Or pageant of the world of dreams. Full from that sanctuary of light, With levell'd aim, superbly bright, A glory o'er the green land pours, Gilding its spires and banner'd towers. Clyde like a vine-tinged current flows, Like gold old Paisley's Abbey glows. Swift slaunting, as a path-way meet For some descending angel's feet, Through its broad window pour'd the ray Amid the long-ranged pillars grey, To one wide warm empassion'd smile, Flushing the cold dim western aisle. It onward streamed, its mellow fire A t length slept in the hallowed choir, But, ere it kissed the sacred ground, It met and beamed a glory round— A rich-rob'd, Queen-like one, whose knee, In midst of that fair sanctuary, On cloth of gold is meekly bent, Like some imploring penitent. Her maidens and her knightly band, With reverence deep at distance stand, Nor Queen nor penitent is she, But the fair Lady Marjory ; A Bruce in soul as well as name, Of meek but yet majestic mein. The noblest knight in all the land, The princely Stewart won her hand ; And, soon, in hope's exulting glow She waits a Mother's joy to know. The mass is said, the vesper hymn Floats mellow through the arches dim, Soft mingling with the organ's swell, Bidding the day a sweet farewell; Whilst through the silent, gazing throng The priestly train slow moves along, T o seek the cloister's calm retreat, Or silent cell for musing meet. Then following came a noble band, The grace, the beauty of the land, Fair maidens in life's blooming May, Like flowers woo'd by the morning ray, �6 All blushing freshness, yet each face Was solemn like the saintly place ; As soft as falling snow they tread, Each by a youthful warrior led, Whose iron tramp, with ringing sound, Startles the tomb-like echoes round. But like the moon, serenely bright, Calm gliding 'mid the stars of night, Amid that glittering company Slow paced the Lady Marjory. Her placid brow, uplifted eye, Spoke of high commerce with the sky, Whilst the quick flushings of her cheek Earth's hopes and anxious fears bespeak. Now, 'twixt the western turret's hoar They issue through the deep-arched door, And never did a scene more bland E'en in earth's richest climes expand Than that fair one which round them lay Like eye-enrapturing melody. E'en like an angel's kiss, the air Met the warm brow, and sounds were there, Like angel-whispers, lover's-vows, Heard 'mid the gently swinging boughs ; Whilst, in soft harmony below, Was heard the darkening river's flow, And oft the mellow piping thrush Pour'd forth her lay from shady bush, A flood of music, liquid, clear, Thrilling the calm air far and near. Each lady reins her palfrey light, Quick on his steed has sprung each knight ; Along the green path, down the stream, Like dreamers of some bright day-dream, So, slowly, silently they ride Onward to Renfrew's halls of pride, Where, emblem of the Stewart's power, His banner waves o'er massy tower. Behind the far hills of Argyle The sun had set, but still the smile, Like hectic flush on beauty's cheek, Of fading light plays round each peak ; �Sweet as an infant's laughing eye, Eve's dewy star beam'd down the sky. Like visions, that in glory J^laze Before ambition's fervid gaze, And whilst he grasps them, melt away— The crimson west had chang'd to grey. And now they reach the sloping green, Whence the broad castle's walls are seen Their dark and massive bulk to heave ; While, through the mellowing tints of eve, They seem aerial halls pil'd high, That mock the gazer's, wildered eye. But, hark ! clear through the forest borne Is heard the blast of bugle horn, And in the garb of Lincoln green, A weary hunting band is seen : The note, from her long reverie, Has roused the lady Marjory. It is the blast she loves to hear, That tell's her that her lord is near. With joy she sees his coming train— Slacks her impatient palfrey's rein; That, long close curb'd, now bounds away Like unleash'd hound upon his prey. Nor answers now the guiding rein But with high bound and proud-toss'd mane. Though plunging on with furious speed, Long trained to rein a mettled steed, The graceful rider, firm, erect, Calm, seeks his headlong course to check. Forth springs a knight to seize her rein, But ere his hand her hand could gain, Still sweeping on with furious speed, Deep in a mire had plunged her steed. He falls, rolls o'er, and, woe the day ! His noble rider 'neath him lay. T o aid, all wildly rush around, And quickly from their saddles bound. Her frantic maidens' scream of fear Has reached the good Lord Steward's ear : He starts—he sees the hurrying throng, With arrow speed he spurs along : �He speeds—but faster still life's tide Is ebbing in his youthful bride ! But when his tones pf love she hears, And meets his eye all drowned in tears, And feels his thrilling warm embrace, A flush plays o'er her livid face, Like flowers that o'er a lone grave blow, Or sunbeam on a wreath of snow. A s waking from a troubled dream, Her dark soft eye's dilated beam Meets his mute gaze, and, bright'ning; still, Like morning o'er the eastern hill, I t pours, at length, so strange a light, So bland, yet so intensely bright, Her soul seemed to a seraph turned, And with a seraph's rapture burned, Pours like the glowing spirits above, The tongueless eloquence of love. And voiceless too, like spell-bound band, All motionless her maidens stand. They heave no sigh, they shed no tear, D e e p awe has mastered grief and fear ; Almost arrested, pulse and breath And given each cheek the hue of death. The spell is broke—they hear a moan— And lo ! those eyes they gazed upon A r e soulless ! pall'd in death's black night, Is she who was the centre bright That held a nation's gaze,—the one "Who, like the summer's morning sun, W o k e harmony, and joy, and love, Where'er her graceful steps might move. But life and death, strange mingle : lo ! A joy blends with the bitter woe. A cherub smiles, an heir is born; A s from eve's shades had sprung the morn. T o Scotland, thus, by pitying Heaven, A future hero may be given.

In a mouldering cave, a wretched retreat, Britannia sat wasted with care; She wept for her Wolfe, then exclaim'd against fate, And gave herself up to despair.

And these were the tidings that came: Britainnia, forbear, not a sigh nor a tear For thy Wolfe so deservedly lov'd; Thy grief shall he chang'd into tumults of joy, For Wolfe is not dead,butremov'd. �The Sons of the earth, the proud giants of old, Have fled from their darksome abodes, And, such is the news that in heaven is told, (gods. They are marching to war with the A council was held in the chamber iff Jove, And this was their final decree, That Wolfe should be call'd to the army above; And the charge was entrusted to me, T o the plains of Quebec with the orders I flew; Wolfe begg'd for a moment's delay; He cried, Oh, forbear! let me victory hear, And then the command I'll obey. With a darkening film I encompass'd his eyes, And bore him away in an urn, Lest the fondness he bore for his own native shore, ; Might tempt him again to return. �4 LOVE HAS EYES. Love's blind, they say, O never, nay; Can words Lpve's grace impart? The fancy, weak, The tongue may speak, But eyes alone the heart. In one soft look what language lies! O yes:, believe me, Love has eyes. Love's wing'd, they cry— O, never, I — On pinions love to soar; Deceivers rove. But never love, Attach'd he moves no more: Can he have wings who never flies? And yes, believe me, Love has eyes. THE GIRL OF M Y HEART. I have parks, I have grounds, I have deer, I have hounds, And for sporting a neat little cottage, I have youth, I have wealth, I have strength, I have health, �5 Yet I mope like a beau in his dotage. What can I want?—'Tis the girl of my heart, T o share those treasures with me, For had I the wealth which the indies impart, No pleasure would it give me, Without the lovely girl of my heart The sweet lovely girl of my heart. My domain far extends, And sustains social friends, Who make music divinely enchanting; We have halls, we have playn, We have routs, public days, And yet still I find something is wanting; What should it be, but the girl of my heart, T o share those treasures with me! For had I the wealth vAieh the Indies impart, No pleasure it would give me, Without the lovely girl of my heart. Then give me the girl of my heart. �6 SALLY ROY. Fair Sally, once the village pride, Lies cold and wan in yonder valley; She lost her lover, and she died, Grief broke the heart of gentle Sally. Young Valiant was the hero's name, For early valour fir'd the boy, Who barter'd all his love for fame. And kill'd the hopes of Sally Roy. Swift from the arms of weeping love, As rag'd the war in yonder valley, He rush'd his martial power to prove, While faint with fear sunk lovely Sally. At noon she saw the youth depart, At eve she lost her darling joy; Ere night the last throb of her heart Declar'd the fate of Sally Roy. The virgin train in tears are seen, When yellow moonlight fills the valley, Slow stealing o'er the dewy green, Towards the grave of gentle Sally. And while remembrance wakes the sigh Which weans each feeling heart from joy, �The mournful dirge, ascending high, Bewails the fate of Sally Roy. STAY, TRAVELLER, TARRY. Stay, traveller, tarry here to-night, The rain yet beats, the wind is The moon too has withdrawn her light, And gone to sleep behind a cloud. 'Tis seven long miles across the moor, And should you from our cottage stray, You'll meet, I fear, no friendly door, No soul to tell the ready way. Come, dearest Kate, the meal prepare, This stranger shall partake our best; A cake and rasher be his fare, With ale that makes the weany blest. Approach the hearth, there take a place, And, till the hour of rest draws nigh, Of Robin Hood, and Chevy Chace, We'll sing, then to our pallets hie. Had I the means I'd use you well; 'Tis little I have got to boast; loud, �9 But should you of our cottage tell, Say, Hal the Woodman was your host. THE WOODLAND MAID. The woodland maid, my beauty's queen, In nature's simple charm' array'd, This heart subdues; that matchless mien ^ Still binds me to the woodland maid.

If this offend when ye peruse, Pray, reader, let this me excuse, Myself I only here accuse, Who am the cause, That e'er ye had this piece of news To split your jaws. For had I right the gully guided, And wi' a wife mysel' provided, To keep me frae that wrae betide it, That's kent to'a', I'd stay'd at hame, or near beside i t ; Now that's awa'. B e wiser then, and do what's right, And mind your business wi' might, Lest unexpected gloomy night, Should you surround An' mingle a' your pleasure bright, Wi'grief profound. And, bonny lasses, mind this rhyme, As true as three and sax mak nine, If ye commit ye ken what crime, And turn unweel, There'll something wamble in your wamo Just like an eel. �THE DOMINIE DEPOSED. P A R T I. SOME Dominies are sae bias'd, That o'er the dyke themsells tliey east, They drink an' rant, an' live sae fast, This drives them on, To draw a weapon at the last, That sticks Mess John. Thus going on from day to day, Neglecting still to watch and pray, And teach the little anes A, B, C, An* Pater No^tpr, Quite ither thoughts our Lettergae, Begins to foster. For, laying by baitli fear and shame, They slily venture on that game, All Fours, I think, they call't by name, Baitli auld an' rife. Than in the play, Mess John is slain Wi' his ain knife. �4 'Tis kind, therefore, I wimia strive My doughty deeds here to descrive, A lightsome life still did I thrive, Did never itch, By out an' in abouts to drive, For to mak rich. I ne'er laid money up in store, Into a hole behind the door, A shilling, penny, less or more, I aye did scatter, 'Tis just, now, I should drink, therefore, Sma* beer or water. I never sooner siller got, But a' my pouches it would plot, And scorch them fair, it was sae hot; Then to get clear Of it, I swill'd it down my throat, In ale or beer. Thus, a' my failing was my glass, An* anes to please a bonny lass, I, like a silly amorous ass, Drew forth my gully, An' through an' through at the first pas*, Ran Mr. Willy. Sae far this mad, though merry fit, I was sair vexed, and forced to flit, They plagu'd me sae wi' pay and sit, Quo* they, You thief, How durst you try to steal a bit Forbidden beef? �0 then, I liumbly plead that vos, Would make it your continual rnos> Wi' hearts sincere an' open o$, You'd often pray, A tali malo libera nos, 0 Dominie• For, hark, I'll tell you what they think, Since I left handling pen an' ink: Wae worth that weary soup o' drink He lik'd sae weel, He drank it a', left not a clink His throat to swill. He lik'd, still sitting 011 his doup, To view the pint or cutty stoup, And sometimes lasses overcoup, Upo' their keels, This made the lad at length to loup, And tak his heels. Then was it not a grand presumption, To ca' him doctor 0' the function ? He dealt too much in barley-unction For his profession : He never took a good injunction Frae kirk or session. An' to attend, he was not willing, His school, sae lang's he had a shilling, But lov'd to be where there was filling Good punch or ale, For him to rise was just like killing Or first to fail. �His fishing-wand, his sneeshing box, A fowling piece, to shoot muir cocks, An' hunting hare through craigs and rocks, This was his game, Still left the young anes, so the fox Might worry them. When he committed a' these tricks, For which he weel deserv'd his licks, Wi' red-coats he did intermix, When he foresaw The punishment the kirk inflicts On fowks that fa'. Then to his thrift he bade adieu, When wi* his tail he stopp'd his mou\ He changed his coat to red and blue, An' like a sot Did the poor Clerk convert into A Royal Scot. An' now fowks use me at their wills, My name is blawn out o'er the hills, At banquets, feasts, a' mouths it fills, 'Twixt each, Here's £' thee, 'Tis sore traduc'd at kilns and mills, And common smithy. Then, Dominies, I you beseech, Keep very far from Bacchus' reach, He drown'd a' my cares to preach, Wi' his ma't-bree, I've wore sair banes by mony a bleech 0' his tap-tree. �If venus does possess your mind, Her antics ten times warse ye'll find, For to ill tricks she's sae inclin'd, For praticks past, She blew me here before the wind: Cauld be her cast. Within years less than half a dizen, She made poor Maggy lie in jizen, When little Jock brake out of prison, On gude yule-day, This of my quiet cut the wisen, Whan he wan gae. Let readers then tak better heed, For fear they kiss mair than they read, In case they wear the sacken weed, For fornication, Or leave the priest-craft shot to dead For procreation. The maist o* them, like blind an' lame, Have nae aversion to the game, But better 'twere to tak her hame, Their pot to cook, An* teach his boys to write a theme, And mind their book. Then may they sit at liame, an* please, Themselves wi' gathering in their fees, While I must face mine enemies, Or shaw my dock: There's odds 'twixt handling pens wi* ease An' a firelock. �Sae shall they never mount the stool, Whereon the lasses greet an' howl, Tho' deil a tear, scarce fair or foul, Comes o'er their cheeks ; Their mind's not there, 'tis spinning wool, Or mending breeks. The Kirk then pardons no such prots, They must tell down good five pounds scots, Though they should pledge their petticoats, An' gae arse bare ; The least price there is twenty groats, An' prigging fair. If then the lad does not her wed, Poor Meg some feigned tears maun slied. Her minny crooks her mou' and dad, They fart an' fling ; " 0 wow that e'er I made the bed," Then does she sing. Thus for her Maidenhead she moans, Bewailing what is past; Her pitcher's dash'd against the stones, And broken at the last, P A R T II. A' Maids, therefore, I do bemoan, Betwixt the rivers Dee and Don, If anes they get a taste o' yon, Though by the laird, The toy-mutch maun then gae on, Nae mair bare-hair'd �Yet wanton Venus, that she-b—h, Does a' our senses sae bewitch, An* fires our blood wi' sic an itch, That aftentimes, There is nae help but to commit, Some Ill-far'd crimes. Yet some they are sae very willing, At ony time they'll tak> a shilling, But he that learnt them first that spelling, Or Meg or Nell, Be sure, to him they'll lay an egg in ; This some can tell, Unthinking things ! it is their creed, If some sic things be done wi' speed, They're safe, 'tis help in time o' need, Nae after-claps : Tho' nine months aft brings quick or dead, Into their laps. Experience thus makes me speak, I ance was hooked wi' the cleek, I almost had beshit my breek, When Maggy told, That by her saul, not e'en a week Young Jack would hold. She was sae stiff she cou'd not loot; Your pranks she says, are now found out, The kirk and you maun hae a bout ; 111 mat you fare, 'Tis a' your ain, you need na doubt Ilk hilt an hair. �10 Alas that e'er I saw your face, I can nae langer hide the case ; Had I foreseen this sad disgrace, Nae man nor you, Shou'd e'er hae met me in yon place, Or kiss'd my mou\ 0 Dominie, you're dispossest, Ye hae defil'd your holy nest, The warld sees ye hae transgrest, I'm at my time, Ye dare nae mair, now do your best, Let gae the rhyme. Ohon! how weel I might liae kent, When first to you I gae consent, Wi' me to mak your merriment, How a' would be : Alas ! that e'er my loom I lent, That day to thee. Wae to the night I first began To mix my moggans wi' thee man : 'Tis needless now to curse or ban, But deil hae me, Ye'll pay an' sit, for sit ye can, An' that ye'll see. 1 heard her as I heard her not, But time and place had quite forgot, I guess'd Young Jack fell to my lot; For I could tell, It was too short her petticoat, By half an ell. �11 Wi' blubber'd cheeks, and watry nose, Her weary story she did close ; I said the best, and aff she goes Just like a thief, An' took a glass to interpose, 'Twixt mirth and grief. Yet would hae gi'en my ha'f year's fee, Had Maggy then been jesting me, Had tartan purry, meal an' bree, Or buttr'y brose, Been kilting up her petticoats Aboon her hose. But time that tries such praticks past, Brought me out o'er the coals fu' fast; Poor Maggy took a sudden blast, And o'er did tumble, For something in her wame at last Began to rumble. Our folk ca'd it the windy gravel, That grips the guts beneath the navel, But laith was she for to unravel Their gross mistake, Weel kend she, that she was in travail, Wi' little Jack. But, to put matters out of doubt, Young John within would fain been out, An' but an' ben made sic a rout Wi* hands and feet, That she began twa-fauld about The house to creep. �12 Then dool an' sorrow interveen'd ; For Jack nae langer could be screen'd, My lass upon her breast she lean'd, An' gae a skirl. The canny wives came there conveen'd, An' in a whirl. They wrought together in a crowd ; By this time I was under cloud ; Yet bye and bye I understood, They made one more, For Jack he tun'd his pipe, and loud Wi' cries did roar. Wi' that they blam'd the Session-Clark ; Where is the lown hid in the dark ? For he's the father o' this wark : Swear to his mitlier, He's just as like him as ae lark Is like anitlier. About me then there was a din, They sought me out through thick an' thin, Wi' deil hae her, an deil liae him, He's o'er the dyke ; Our Dominie lias now dung in His arse a pike. Ye may weel judge I was right sweer, This uncouth meeting to draw near, Yet forc'd I was then to appear, Altho' perplex'd; But listen how, and ye shall hear, The hags me vex'cl �The carlings Maggy had sae cleuked, Before young Jack was rightly hooked, They made lier twice as little booked, But to gae on, 0 then ! how like a fool I looked, When I saw John. The Cummer then came to me bent, And gravely, did my son present ; She bade me kiss him, be content, Then wish'd me joy ; An' tauld it was—what luck had sent, A. waly boy. In ilka member, litli an' lim', Its mouth, its nose, its cheeks, its chin, 'Tis a' like daddy, just like him, His very self, Though it look'd cankered sour and grim, Like ony elf. Then whisp'ring now to me she harked, Indeed your hips they should be yarked, Nae mair Mess John, nor dare ye Clarkit, Faith ye hae ca'd Your hogs into a bonny markit, Indeed my lad. But tell me, man, (I should say master,) What muckle deil in your way chas'd her ? Lowns ba-ith ! but I think I hae plac'd her, Now on her side, My coming here has not disgrac'd her, At the Yule-tide. �14 An' for yoursell, ye dare na look Hereafter ever on a book, Your mou' about the psalms to crook ; Ye've play'd the fool, Anither now your post maun bruik, An' you the stool. She bann'd her saul, and then she blest it, That in the Kirk-books it would be lifted, An' thus the weary wife insisted, Our Lettergae Will sit whar he will not be pish't at By dogs some day. She wrung her hands until they cracked. An' sadly me she sham'd an' lacked— Ah, man ! the Priest, how will he tak' it, Whan he hears tell, How Maggy's mitten ye hae glacket, Ye ken yoursell. The Session-Clark to play such prankies, Ye'll stan' I fear upon your shankies, An' maybe slaver in the brankies ; It could na miss, But lifting o' the killimankies, Would turn to this. A toothless Howdy, auld and teugh, Says, Cummer husht, we hae eneugh, Thirsh mony ane has touch'd the pleugh, As gude ash he, An' yetsh gane backlensh o'er the heugli, Shae let him be. �15 Hesh no, quoth she, though lie'sh be lear'd, That ye ken what, they hae crept near't, Far you an I hash aft-times heard O' nine or ten, Wha thush the clergy hath beshmear'd Wi' their ain pen. The auld mou d wives thus did me taunt, Though a' was true, I must needs grant. But ae thing maistly made me faint, Poor Meg lay still, An' look'd as loesome as a saint That kend nae ill. Then a* the giglets young and gaudy, Sware by their sauls, I might be wady. For getting sic a lusty lacldy, Sae like mysell; An' made me blush wi' speaking baudy, 'Bout what befel. Thus auld an' young their verdict had, 'Bout Maggy's being brought to bed, I thought my fill, yet little said, Or had to say, To reap the fruit o' sic a trade, On gude-yule day. What sometimes in the mou is sweet, Turns bitter in the wame ; I grumbled sair to get the geetf At sic a merry time. P A R T III. ISTow Maggy's twasome in a swoon, A counsel held condemns the loon, �16 The cushle mushle thus gaed roun', Our bonny Clark, He'll get the dud an* sarken gown, That ugly sark. Consider, sirs, now this his crime, 'Tis no like hers, or yours, or mine, He's just next thing to a divine, An' vow, 'tis odd, Sic men should a* their senses tine, An' fear o' God. 'Tis strange what mak's kirk folk sae stupit, To mak or meddle wi' the fuca'it, Or mint to preach in sic a pu'pit, The senseless fools, Far better for them hunt the tyouchot, Or teach their schools. They hunt about frae house to house, Just as a tailor hunts a louse, Still girding at the barley-juice An' aft get drunk, They plump into some open sluice, Where a' is sunk. A plague upo' that oil o' ma't, That weary drink is a' their fau't, It made our Dominie to hal't ; The text fulfil, Which bids cast out the sa'rless sa't, On the dunghill. �17 They are sae fed, they lie sae saft, They are sae hain'd, they grow sae daft; This breeds ill wiles, ye ken fu' aft In the black coat, Till poor Mess John, and the priest-craft, Gaes to the pot. I tald them then, it was but wicked To add affliction to the afflicted, But to it they were sae addicted, They said therefore : The clout about me should be pricked, At the kirk-door. But yet not kirk nor consterie, Quoth they, can ask the taudy fee, Tell them in words just twa or three, The deil a plack, For tarry-breeks should ay gae free, An' he's the Clark. I then was dumb! how I was griey'd ! What would I gi'en to be reliev'd! They us'd me waur than I had thiev'd, Some strain'd their lungs, An' very loud they me mischiev'd Wi' their ill tongues. Had you been there to hear and see The manner how they guided me, An' greater penance wha could dree ! A Lettergae, Wi' sic a pack confin'd to be, On gude Yule-day. �18 Young Jack wi' skirls he pierc'd the skie I pray VI that death might close his eyes, But did not meet with that surprise, To my regret, Sae had nae help, but up an' cries llet drinks to get. This laid their din ; the drink was stale, An' to't they gaed wi* tooth an' nail, An' wives whase rotten tusks did fail Wi' bread an' cheese, They birl'd fu' fast at butter'd ale, To gie them ease. They ca' upon me, then dadda, Come, tune your fiddle, play us a Jigg or hornpipe, nae mair SOL F A , My bonny cock ; The kirk an' you maun pluck a craw About young Jock. Flay up, Sae merry as we hae been, Or, Wat ye wha we met yestreen, Or, Lass will ye lend me your leam i Or, Soups o' brandy, Or, Gin the kirk wad let's alane, Or, Houghmagandy. Sic tunes as these, yea, three or four, They call'd for, ill mat they cour, Play, cries the cummer, wi' a glour, The wanton toudy, Wha' did the Dominie ding o'er, Just heels o'er goudy. �19 O' music I had little skill, But as I could, I played my till, It was my best to shaw good will ; Yet a' my drift, Was best how I might win the hill The wives to shift. Sae leaving them to drink het ale, I slipt awa', an' let them rail: Then running till my breath did fail, I was right glad Frae kirk and wives to tak' leg bail,— Nae doubt they said. The Lettergae has plaid the fool, Jnd shifted the repenting-stool, To kirk and session bids good-day, Hell o'er the hills and far away. THE SEQUEL. Now, loving friends I liae you left, Ye ken I neither stole nor reft, But when I found myself infeft, In a young Jack, I did resolve to change the haft For that mis tak'. An' reasons mae I had anew, For I had neither horse nor cow ; My stock took wings an aff it flew, Sae a' was gone, An' deil a flee had I was new Except young John. �20 Too aft my thirsty throat to cool, I went to visit the punch bowl, Which makes me now wear reddish wool Instead o' black ; Or I must foot the cutty stool Wi' deil a plaek. The chappen-stoup, the pint an' gill, Too aft I caused for to fill, A y loving those wha would sit still, An' wet the mouth, Ne'er minding that the T u l l o - h i l l , Leads people south. 0 but that loving laird Kings wells My blessings flow where his foot swells, Lang life to him whate'er befals, God be his guide, He's cured a thousand thirsty sauls, An' mine beside. O had I but thae days again, Which I sae freely spent in vain, I'd strive some better for to ken, What future chance Should bla^ me here out o'er the main, An' sae near France. But since that ills maun ay befall The ehiel that will be prodigal; When wasted to the very spaul He turns his tusk, For want o' comfort to his saul, On hungry husk. �21 Now since I'm aff sae mony a mile, There's naething got without some toil, I'll wait ; cross fortune yet may smile, Come want, come wealth, I'll tak' a pint in the mean while, To Heilden's health. Sae, for a time, friends fare ye weel, My pot companions, true and leel, I wish ye all a merry yule, Much mirth and glee Nae mair young Jacks into the creel That day for me. Some other Yule may yet cast up, When we again shall meet, To drown our sorroivs in a cup, In case we live to see't. E L E G Y ON M A G G Y JOHNSTON, Who died Anno Domini, 1711 Reeky mourn in sable hue, Let foutli o' tears dreep like May dew, To bra' tippeny bid adieu, Which we wi' greed, Bended as fast as she could brew, But now she's dead. Auld �22 To tell the truth now, Maggy dang, 0* customers she had a bang ; For lairds an' sutors a' did tlirang To drink bedeen : The barn an'yard was aft sae tlirang, We took the green. An' there by dizens we lay down, Syne sweetly ca'd the healths aroun', To bonny lasses, black or brown, As we lo'ed best; In bumpers we dull cares did drown, An' took our rest. When in our pouch we fand some clinks, An' took a turn o'er Bruntsfield Links, Aften in Maggy's, at Hay-jinks, We guzzl'd scuds, Till we could scarce, wi' liale-out drinks Cast alf our duds. We drank an' drew, an' fill'd again, O wow ! but we were blythe an' fain : When ony had their count mistane, O it was nice, To hear us a' cry pick your bane, An' spell your dice. Fou close we us'd to drink an' rant, Until we baith did glowr and gaunt, An' pish, an' spue, an' yesk, an' maunt, Riglit swash I trow, Then aff auld stories we did chaunt, Whan we were fou. �23 Whan we were wearied at the gouff, Then Maggy Johnston's was our houff, Now a' our gamesters may sit douff, Wi' hearts like lead. Death wi' his rung reach'd her a youlf^ An' sae she's dead. Maun we be forc'd thy skill to tine, For which we will right sair repine ? Or hast thou left to bairns o' thine, The pauky knack, 0 brewing ale amaist like wine, That gar'd us crack ? Sae brawly did a pease-scon toast, Biz i' the quaff, and flee the frost, There we gat fu' wi' little cost, An' muckle speed ; Now wae worth death, our sport's a' lost, Since Maggy's dead. Ae summer night I was sae fu', Amarig the riggs I gaed to spew, Syne down on a green bank I trow, I took a nap, An* sought a night balillilu, As soun's a tap. An' whan the dawn began to glow, 1 hirsled up my dizzy pow, Frae 'mang the corn like worry-kow, Wi' banes fu' sair, An' kend nae mail* than if a yow, How I came there. �24 Some said it was the pith o* broom, That she stow'd in her masking loom, "Which in our heads rais'd sic a foom, Or some wild seed, Which aft the chappen-stoup did toom, But fill'd our head. But now sinec 'tis sae that we must, Not in the best ale put our trust, But when we're auld return to dust, Without remead; Why should we tak' it in disgust, Since Maggy's dead. 0' wardly comforts she was rife, An' liv'd a lang and hearty life, Right free o' care, or toil, or strife, Till she was stale ; An' kend to be a canny wife At brewing ale. Then farewell Maggy, douce and fell, 0' brewers a' ye bore the bell ; Let a' your gossips yelp and yell, An' without feed, Guess whither ye're in heaven or hell, They're sure ye're dead. riNis. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A'bed. To dream of being in bed betokens good health, but, beware ! for some one wishes to injure you. Abuse. To dream of being abused or insulted, is a sign that you will have a dispute with some person. Abroad.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DREAMS. Dr. Cantor delivered a lecture a short time since, in the course of which he mentioned some curious circumstances respecting dreams. He said that the succession of ideas which had passed through our minds when awake, were remembered and recalled during sleep, and that was what was called dreaming. Dreams generally took place when the circulation of the blood was impeded. Our memory was much more distinct and strong when we dreamed than when we were awake. �H It was because, when we were asleep, the association of the ideas went on without being disturbed or counteracted, and there was no controlling power over it,; He would say a few words about the most extraordinary of ; all classes of dreams, namely, prophetic dreams, in which the future is revealed to the dreamer.

When young, and ill of the typhus fever, he dreamed of a dark-haired and darkeyed young lady, with whom he fell in love. Years afterwards lie went to the Continent, and there met with the identical party, and it was to her care that he owed the complete restoration of his health; and he married her. There was a great number of such dreams recorded. The ancients paid great attention to dreams. A decree was published under Augustus, as commanding every one who had dreamed a dream, to report the same to the government. It was certain that the mind possessed sometimes in dreams an a priori knowledge which was highly remarkable. It was sometimes the same just the moment before death. There was indeed Scriptural authority in favour of dreams. But the fulfilment of dreams was by no means astonishing, generally speaking* � Document A resource containing textual data.

It is of an Exciseman the truth I will tell, Who thought that one night he was going to hell. Fal de lal, &c. One night he went out to look for his prey; He did meet with some smugglers, as I heard them say, In tasting the liquo?s they were going to sell, The Exciseman got drunk, the truth I will tell. He got so intoxicated he fell to the ground, And like a fat sow was forced to lie down, Just nigh to a coal pit fe. Exciseman did lie, When four or five colliers b j chance did come by. They shouldered him up and hois$(l him away, Like a pedlar's pack, without any delay ; Into the bucket they handled him down, This jollj Exciseman they got under ground. /ft �3 The Exciseman awakened with terrible fear, Upstarted a collier, says what brought yon hear, Indeed Mr Devil, I don't very well know, But I think I am come to the regions below. Says the collier, what was you in the world above, I was an Exciseman and few did me love; Indeed Mr. Devil the truth I will tell, Since I've got here, Til be what you will. Since you're an Exciseman, here you must remain, You will never get out of this dark cell again; The gates they are fast, and bind you secure. All this you must suffer fot robbing the poor. Indeed Mr. Devil if you'll pity me, No more will I rob the poor you shall see; If you will look over, as you've done before, I never will rob the poor any more. Come give me your money, which now I demand Before you can get to the christian land, 0 yes, Mr. Devil, the Exciseman did say, 1 wish to get back, for to see light of day. DONALD OF DUNDEE. Young Donald is tbe blithest lad That e'er made love to me, Whene'er he's by my heart is glad, He seems so gay and free; �Then on his pipe he plays so sweet, And in his plaid he looks so neat, It cheers my heart at eye to meet Young Donald of Dundee. Whene'er I gang to yonder grove, Young Sandy follows me. And fain he wants to be my love But ah ! it canna be. T W mither frets both ear and late, For me to wed this youth I hate, There's nane need hope to gain young Kate But Donald of Dundee. When last we ranged the banks of Tay The ring he showed to me, And bade me name the bridal day, Then happy would he be. I ken the youth will aye prove kind, Nae mair my mither will I mind, Mess John to me shall quickly bind Young Donald of Dundee. WHEN I WAS YOUNG. When I was young and in my prime, My mother selt good ale; I let the young men kiss my mouth, But guarded well my tail �5 Till on a day came the young laird, And he spoke wondrous crouse, He'd make me lady of all his land, Likewise my mother's house. I answered him right sharply, I said that will not do, But give me fifty pounds in hand And I'll be at bour bow. The money then was telled down, In silver and bright gold, And I gave him my maidenhead, And thought it was well sold. The next he was a weaver lad, Had plenty of yarn and cloth, I got from him fifteen guineas Besides a web of cloth. I put a cod upon my wame, In purpose to enrage him; I got ten guineas then from him, And he begged I would discharge him. The next he was a bold merchant lad, Who had good horse and packs, He swore that he would marry me Whenever he came back. I got from him thirteen guineas, Besides ribbons and rings, And gave him my maidenhead, Which he took in exchange. �6 I put a pack on every haunch, A cod upon my wame. And went unto the market place My merchant for to find. When he saw me he held out his paw, And said, How do you do, But weel I kent he did repent For shame blushed on his brow. I said I came to speak with him, If once the fair was done; So that very night he took the flight, And travelled with the moon. The next was a bold butcher lad, Came past in search of veal, And he was wanting to comply, The flank and wame to fill. He rifled me and touzled me, And made me to comply, I got no more but a veals head, And a gill when he came by. I was tochered now with lint and woo, A purse well worth the picking, I fancied a taylor lad, To whom I had a liking. I sent for him, he came to me, And then I told to him, If he'd agree to marry me I had a house to hold him. �The last of seven maidenheads, So freely then I gave him; 'Twas far better than the rest, For weel I wat it pleased him. ROBIN HQOD. A famous man is Robin Hood, The English ballad-singers' joy ; But Scotland has a thief as good, She has her bold outlaw Rob Roy \ A dauntless heart MKJregor shows, And wond'rous length and strength of arm He long has quelled his Highland foes, And kept his Highland friends from harm. A famous man, &c. • • ' . His daring mood p?tftects him still, For 'tis the robber's simple plan, That they should take who have thq will, . nd they should keep who flan. A And while Rob Roy is free to rove, In summer's heat, and winter's snow, - A The eagle he is lord above, And bold Rob Roy is lord below. A famous man, &c. �8 LANGSYNE BESIDE THE WOODLAND BURN. L a n g s y n e beside the woodland burn, Amang the broom sae yellow, I lean'd me 'neath the milkwhite thorn, On nature's mossy pillow; Around my seat the flow'rs were strew'd, That frae the wildwood I had pu'd, To weave mysel' a simmer snood, To pleasure my dear fellow. I twin'd the woodbine round the rose, Its richer hues to mellow, Green sprigs of fragrant birk I chose, To busk the sedge sae yellow. The craw-flow'r blue, and meadow-pink, I wove in primrose braided link, But little, little did I think, I should have wove the willow. My bonnie lad was forced afar, Toss'd on the raging billow, Perhaps he's fa'n in bloody war, Or wrecked on rocky shallow; Yet, aye I hope for his return, As round our wonted haunts I mourn, And aften by the woodland burn, I pu' the weeping willow. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
