PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS. �THE BLAEBERRY COURTSHIP. W i l l ye go to the Highlands, my jewel, with me ? W i l l ye go to the Highlands, the flocks for to see ? I t is health to my jewel to breathe the sweet air, A n d to pull the blackberries in the forest so fair. T o the Highlands, my jewel, I will not go with thee, For the road it is long, and the hills they are high ; I love those valleys and sweet corn fields, [yield. More than all the blackberries your wild mountains Our hills they are bonnie when the heather's in bloom, I t would cheer a fine fancy in the month of June, T o pull the blackberries and carry them home, A n d set them on your table when December comes on. �3 Out spake her father, that saucy old man, You might have chosen a mistress among your own clan; It's hut poor entertainment to our Lowland dames, To promise them heather and blue heather bloom. Kilt up your green plaidie, walk over yon hill, For a sight of your Highland face does me much ill; For I will wed my daughter, and spare pennies too, To whom my heart pleases, and what's that to you ? My plaid it is broad, it has colours anew, Goodman, for your kindness, I'll leave it with you I have got a warm cordial keeps the cold from me— The blythe blinks of love from your daughter's e'e. My flocks they are thin, and my lodgings but bare, And you that has meikle the more you can spare; Some of your spare pennies with me you will share, And you winna send your lassie o'er the hills bare. He went to her daughter to give her advice, Said, if you go with him I'm sure you're not wise, He's a rude Highland fellow, as poor as a crow, He's of the clan Caithness for ought that I know. But if you go with him, I'm sure you'll go bare, You'll have nothing father or mother can spare; Of all I possess I'll deprive you for aye, If o'er the hills lassie you go away. It's father keep what you are not willing to give, For I fain would go with him as sure as I live ; What signifies gold or treasure to me, If the Highlands are between my love and me. ; �4 Now she is gone with him in spite of them a', Away to a place which her eyes never saw; H e had no steed for to carry her on, But still he said lassie think not the road long. I n a warm summer's evening they came to a glen, Being wearied with travel the lassie sat down : Get up my brave lassie let us step on, For the sun will go down before we get home, M y feet are all torn my shoes are all rent, I ' m wearied with travel and just like to faint, Were it not for the sake of your kind company, I would lie in the desert until that I die. The day is far spent and the night's coming on, A n d step you aside to yon mill-town, And there you'll ask lodgings for thee and for me, For glad would I be in a barn for to be. The place it is pleasant and bonny indeed, But the people are hard-hearted to them that's in need Perhaps they'll not grant us their barn nor byre, But I'll go and ask them as it is your desire. The lassie went foremost, sure I was to blame, T o ask for a lodging myself I thought shame: The lassie replied with tears not a few, It's ill ale, said she, that's sour when it's new. I n a short time thereafter they came to a grove, Where his flocks they were feeding in numberless droves, Allan stood musing his flocks for to see, Step on, says the lady, that's no pleasure to me. �5 A beautiful laddie, with green tartan trews, And twa bonnie lassies were buchting in ewes, They said, honoured master are you come again, Long, long have we look'd for your coming hame. Bught in your ewes lassie, and go your way home, I've brought a swan frae the north, I have her to tame; Her feathers are fallen, and where can she lie ? The best bed in the house her bed shall be. The lady's heart was far down, it couldna well rise, Till many a- lad and lass came in with a phrase, To welcome the lady, to welcome her home : Such a hall in the Highlands she never thought on. The laddies did whistle, and the lassies did sing They made her a supper might served a queen, Long life and happiness they wished her all round, A n d they made to the lady a braw bed of down. Early next morning he led her to the hay, He bade her look round her as far as she could spy, These lands and possessions my debt for to pay, Y e winna gae round them in a lang simmer day. O Allan! O Allan! I ' m indebted to thee, It's a debt dear Allan, I never can pay, O Allan! O Allan! how came you for m e ? Sure I am not worthy your bride for to be. H o w call you me Allan, when Sandy's my name ? W h y call you me Allan ? sure you are to blame ; For don't you remember when at school with thee, I was hated by all the rest but loved by thee. "I �H o w oft have I fed on your bread and your cheese, Likewise when you had but a handful of pease, Y o u r cruel-hearted father hound at me his dogs, They tore my bare heels, and rave all my rags, Is this m y dear Sandy whom I loved so dear ? I have not heard of y o u this many a y e a r ; W h e n all the rest went to bed, sleep was frae me, For thinking what was become of thee. M y parents were born lang before me, Perhaps by this time they are drowned in the sea, These lands and possessions they left them to me, A n d I came for thee, jewel, to share them with thee. I n love we began, and in love we will end, A n d in j o y and mirth our days we will s p e n d ; A n d a voyage to your father once more we will go, A n d relieve the old farmer from his trouble and woe. W i t h men and maid-servants to wait them upon, A w a y t o her father in a chaise they are g o n e ; T h e laddie went foremost—the brave Highland loon, Till they came to the road that leads to the town. W h e n he came to the gate he gave a loud roar,— Come down gentle farmer, Catherine's at your door. When he looked out at the wiudow he saw his daughter's face, W i t h his hat in his hand he made a great phrase.. K e e p on your hat, farmer, don't let it fa', F o r it sets not the peacock to bow to the crow. I t ' s hold your tongue, Sandy, and do not taunt me, F o r my daughter's not worthy your bride for to be. �Now he held his bridle reins till he came down, A n d then he conveyed him to a fine room ; W i t h the finest of spirits they drank a fine toast, And the son and the father drank both in one glass. THE CROOK AND PLAID. I f lassies love the laddies, they surely should confest, For every lassie has a lad she loes aboon the rest, He's dearer to his bosom whatever be his trade, And through life I'll loe the laddie that wears the Crook and Plaid. He's aye true to his lover, aye true to me. H e climbs the mountain early, his fleecy flocks to view, He spies the little laverocks spring out frae 'mang the dew; His faithful little doggie, so frolicsome and glad, Wanders forward with the laddie that wears the Crook and Plaid. For he's, &c. He pu's the blooming heather, he pu's the lily meek, Calls the lily like my bosom, the heather like my check; His words are aye so tender, my heart is aye so glad, There's nae wooer like the laddie that wears the Crook and Plaid. For he's, &c �8 I winna hae the laddie that ca's the cart and plough, Although he may be tender, although he may be true B u t I will hae the laddie that has my heart betrayed, H e ' s the faithful shepherd laddie, that wears the Crook and Plaid. F o r he's, &c. It's down beside the hawthorn that blooms in yonder vale, I'll meet him in the gloaming far frae the noisy gale, His words are aye so tender, my heart is aye so glad, For he kens the way sae nicely to row me in his plaid For he's &c. To such a faithful lover, oh who would not comply! True love gives greater pleasure than aught beneath the sky. If love be in your bosom my heart can ne'er be sad. And through life I'll loe the laddie that wears the Crook and Plaid. For he's &c. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/ad2d50b585a267a2442aadcc853d3bc4.jpg a621ec698b1b9de469213f810f6a1bd8 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

The first is the story of the love between a Highland lad and a Lowland girl. The girls’ father is against the match and disinherits her when she decides she runs off with him. In the beginning, it looks like she has made the wrong choice as she is forced to walk and beg for them both on the way to the Highlands, but when they arrive it turns out he is a laird and she is treated as the lady of a great estate. In the end they both go back to visit and reconcile with the father. The second song is a short ballad about a young girl’s love for a shepherd.

PRINTED FOR T H E BOOKSELLERS. �DUKE OF GORDON'S D A U G H T E R S . The Duke of Gordon had three daughters, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Jean ; They would not stay in bonny Castle Gordon, But they went away to bonny Aberdeen. They had not been in bonny Aberdeen, A twelvemonth and a day, Till Jean fell in love with Captain Ogilvie, And away with him went she. Word came to the Duke of Gordon, In the chamber where he lay, How lady Jean fell in love with a Captain, And from him she would not stay. Go saddle me the black horse, he cried, My servant shall ride on the grey, And I'll go to bonny Aberdeen, Forthwith to bring her away. They were not a mile from bonny Aberdeen, A mile but only one, Till he met with his two daughters, But away was lady Jean. O where is your sister, maidens ? Where is your sister, now; O where is your sister, maidens, That she's not walking with you ? �3 O pardon us honoured father! O pardon they did say: Lady Jean is with Captain Ogilvie, And from him she will not stay. When he came to bonny Aberdeen, And down upon the green, There he did see Captain Oglivie, A training of his men, O woe be to thee Captain Ogilvie! An ill death shalt thou die, For taking to thee my daughter, High hanged thou shalt be. The Duke of Gordon wrote a broad letter And sent to the king, To cause him hang brave Captain Ogilvie, If ere he caused hang any man. No I will not hang Captain Ogilvie, For any offence that I see, But I'll cause him to put off the scarlet And put on the single livery. Now word came to Captain Ogilvie, In the chamber where he lay, To strip off the gold and scarlet, And put on the single livery If this be for bonny Jeannie Gordon, This penance I'll take wi', If this be for bonny Jeannie Gordon, All this and more I'll dree. �4 Lady Jean had not been married, A year but only three, Till she had a babe in every arm, And another on her knee. O but I'm weary wandering! O but my fortune is bad, It sets not the Duke of Gordon's daughter, To follow a soldier lad. O hold your tongue, bonny Jean Gordon, O hold your tongue my lamb, For once I was a noble captain, Now for thy sake a single man. O high was the hills and the mountains, Gold was the frost and snow; Lady Jean's shoes were all torn, No farther could she go. O if I was in the glens of Foudlen, Where hunting I have been, I could go to bonny castle Gordon, Without either stockings or sheen O hold your tongue bonny Jean Gordon, O hold your tongue my dow; I've but one half-crown in the world, I'll buy hose and shoon to you. When she came to bonny Castle Gordon, And coming over the green, The Porter cried out, with a loud voice, Yonder comes our lady Jean. �5 You are welcome bonny Jeanie Gordon, You are dearly welcome to me ; You are welcome dear Jeanie Gordon, But away with your Ogilvie. Now over the seas went the Captain, As a soldier under command ; But a messenger soon followed after, Which caused a countermand. Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie, To enjoy your brother's land ; Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie, You're the heir of Northumberland. O what does this mean ? says the Captain Where is my brother's land ? Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie, You're the heir of Northumberland. O what does this mean ? says the Captain, Where's my brother's children three? O they are all dead and buried, The lands are all ready for thee. Then hoist up your sails brave Captain, And let's be jovial and free; I'll go home and have my estate, And then my dear Jeanie I'll see. He soon came to bonny castle Gordon, And then at the gate stood he; The Porter cried out with a loud shout, Here comes Captain Ogilvie ! �6 You're welcome pretty Captain Ogilvie Your fortunes advanced I hear, No stranger can come, to my gates That I do love so dear. Sir, the last time I was at your gate You would not let me in . I am come for my wife and children, No friendship else I claim. Then she came tripping down the stair, With the saut tear in her e'e, One babe she had at every foot, Another upon her knee You're welcome, bonny Jean Gordon. Your're dearly welcome to me, You're welcome bonny Jean Gordon, Countess of Northumberland to be. Now the Captain came off with his lady, And his sweet babies three, Saying, I'm as good blood by descent, Though the great Duke of Gordon you be. JEM OF ABERDEEN. The tuneful laverocks cheer the grove. And sweetly smiles the summer green Now o'er the mead I love to rove Wi' bonny Jem of Aberdeen. ; �7 Whene'er we sit beneath the broom, Or wander o'er the flowery lea, He's always wooing, wooing, wooing, O Jamie's always wooing me. He's fresh and fair as flowers in May, The blythest lad on a' the green; How sweet the time will pass away W i ' bonny Jem of Aberdeen! Wi' joy I leave my father's cot, Wi' ilka sport of glen or green, Well pleased to share the humble lot Of bonny Jem of Aberdeen. THE BONNY HOUSE O' A I R L Y , It fell upon a day, a bonny summer day, When the clans were a' wi' Charlie, That there fell out a great dispute Between Argyle and Airly. Argyle has called a hundred o' his men, To come in the morning early, [keld, And they hae gane down by the back o' DunTo plunder the bonny house o' Airly. Lady Ogilvie looked frae her window, sae hie, And O but she grat sairly, To see Argyle and a his men Come to plunder the bonny house o' Airly. �8 Come doon, come doon, lady Ogilvie, he cried, Come doon and kiss me fairly, Or ere the morning's clear daylight I'll no leave a standing stane in Airly. I wadna come doon, great Argyle, she cried, I wadna kiss thee fairly: I wadna come doon, false Argyle, she cried, Though you shouldna leave a standing stane in Airly. But were my ain guid lord at hame, As he is noo wi' Charlie, The base Argyle and a' his men Durstna enter the bonny house o' Airly O I hae seven bonny sous, she said, And the youngest has ne'er seen his daddie, And though I had ane as mony mae, They'd a' be followers o' Charlie, Then Argyle and his men attacked the bonny ha, And O, but they plundered it fairly ; In spite o' the tears the lady let fa', They burnt doon the bonny house o' Airly. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/f6fee954607f0a66150f416398ca03cd.jpg 064ca1028cdaa338290a6d9f1f72a981 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

A collection of songs and ballads. In the first ballad, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Gordon goes to visit Aberdeen with her sisters and ends up marrying a handsome but poor captain without her father’s consent. When the Duke finds out, he chases down his daughter and tries to get the captain executed. The king refuses the request, but does have the captain demoted from his rank to a single soldier. Poverty and childbirth do not appear to suit the young lady and the family goes to visit her parents. Jean is welcomed by her family back home but her husband is shunned and sent away. The poor captain is sent across the sea until he suddenly receives word that he is made the Count of Northumberland as his brother and family have died. He returns to Gordon’s castle for his wife and family, who now join him happily, but scorns the welcome of his wife’s family who are suddenly much more friendly now that he is landed in his own right. This ballad is followed by two short songs, the first describing the pleasant courtship of a boy from Aberdeen, and the second recounting the attack of Argyle against the House of Airly while the Lord of Ogilvie is away fighting for Charles Stewart.

ABERDEEN: GEORGE MIDDLETON, SKENE SQUARE, 1873. �THE HERMIT OF POWIS . THE HERMIT OF POWIS lived in his cell, And shunned the converse of man ; His food was the coarsest, his drink was the brook That near to the Hermitage ran. He mumbled his prayers, and counted his beads, And scourged his flesh wi' twine, In the hope to atone for the sins of the soul By the body's doll and pine. And who was the Hermit, and what were his sins, That merited penance so drear ?— List ye to the tale of a soothfast bard, And both shall quickly appear : The Hermit had stood a noble Earl In the presence of his King— Had gaily hunted the boar and the stag, And fought in the field and the ring. The Hermit now so withered and grim, Was an Earl so fair to see, That there was no' a lady in a' the land But had sighed at the blink o' his e'e. But the Earl gave his heart to the fairest maid In the bounds of Scotland wide— To the sweet Mary Hay, the flower o' the Don, And her father's hope and pride. But her father was no' a belted knight, But a man of low degree, And it grieved his heart his daughter's love For a noble Earl to see. " There never cam' good o' a lordling's love For a maid so lowly born ; He'll win your heart, and break your heart, And leave you the scath and the scorn," �3 " 0 little d'ye ken, my father dear, This leal Lord's love for me ; He's won my heart, and he's sought my hand, And his bride I have sworn to be." And the Earl so loved this lowly maid, That he gave her his lordly hand, And made her mistress of all his castles, And lady of all his land. And time ran on till a year had gone, But never, by night or day, Was the gallant Leslie absent from The side of his Mary Hay. 4 The noblemen round might look askance, Their ladies might scoff and sneer ; His Mary was all the world to him, And he to her was as dear. Till town and country, high and low, The truth must needs declare, That never, in palace, castle, or cot, Had been witnessed a happier pair. But it fell on a day, a sweet summer's day, That there came, with white foam o'er, A steed with a royal messenger, And this was the message he bore ; " Boot ye ! Spur ye ! noble Earl— Go saddle your steed and ride ! For the English loons, with fire and sword, Have crossed the border side. " And need have we of our bravest knights, And need of their stoutest men, And stouter or braver than you, Lord Earl, There's none in our royal ken." When Mary heard this message read, Her cheeks grew pale and wan, But when she saw her Leslie's steed The tears in torrents ran. " O, let me gang, my Leslie dear, Your perils all to share ? I'll run a foot page by your side, The battle field I'll dare. �4 When dangers flash around your head, I'll cry to heaven to save ; And if you're wounded in the fight, My care will cheat the grave." " That never could be, my darling wife— But I'll not tarry long, For numerous are our Scottish bands, Their hearts are brave and strong. And soon we'll drive the English loons Across the border side, And I'll bring fouth of Southern spoil To deck my lovely bride. " " I care no' for pearls, jewels, nor gold, Nor robes of silken sheen, I'd rather have you, my Leslie, safe, Than the splendours of a queen." Lord Leslie kissed her lips and cheeks, As pale as the lily flower ; Then bade her maidens bear her in, And tend her well in her bower. But when he rode from his castle door At the head of his warlike band, His Mary Hay was the saddest wife In all the Scottish land. Our Scottish king his warlike bands Led forth in gallant order, And drove the Southern loons, like sheep, Over the English border. Then boldly marched on Southern soil To pay them ill for ill, And drove the beeves from off their fields, And the sheep from off the hill. And when he'd paid the knavish loons A penny for their plack, He led his troops with little loss And mickle plunder back. And feasted at the Scottish court For thirty days and three, The noble lords who in the war Had borne him company. �5 And formest in the field of light, And foremost in the sport, The brave Earl Leslie bore the palm O'er all the Scottish court. The Lady Arabella Stewart, The daughter of a king, Tho' her mother did not share a throne Nor wear a wedding ring, Cast eyes on this same noble lord In her royal brother's hall, And saw him, in face and courtly grace, The fairest of them all. And she has gotten her to the king, Fallen low down on her knee— "O royal Lord, 0 brother dear, An asking grant to me !" " Rise up ! Rise up ! Our sister dear, Your asking you shall have, Be it gold or gear, or house or land, Or title, that ye crave." " I crave nor title, house, nor land, I crave nor gold, nor gear, But it's all for a lord at your royal court That I plead in your royal ear. Lord Leslie he has ensnared my heart, By arts that I cannot divine ; And I crave your aid, my sovereign liege, This witchery to untwine." And if Lord Leslie has stolen your heart, This choice to him I'll gie, Either to offer you marriage to-morrow, Or else to be hanged on a tree." Lord Leslie sat and laughed and joked, In the midst of a merry ring, When word was brought him to repair To audience with the King. " There's a nobleman at our court, Lord Earl, Partaking our royal cheer, Who by wicked art has trepanned the heart Of a lady that we hold dear. �6 The Lady Arabella Stewart, The fairest of our fair, Has lost her heart, and to you Lord Earl, Deny it if you dare. But you are a true and a warlike lord, And this is the choice we'll gie— Either to marry the lady we've named, Or swing like a rogue on a tree." "My Liege ! my Sire ! my Sovereign Lord ! I've used no wizardrie, And if I have won the heart of this maid, The prize was unsought by me. And if my choice be to wed or to hang, My Sire, I must lose my life, For how can I wed Lady Arabel Stewart, And leave a better-loved wife ?" " A n d who may be this wife, Lord Earl, That you hold so wondrous dear ; And how does it chance that the lady's name Should never have reached our ear ?" " My wife is not sprung from noble sires— Her kin are of low degree, But dear as a queen to her royal spouse Is the choice of my heart to me." " A peasant can be but a leman, my Lord, To one that is nobly born, And, the word of a King, you'll marry our ward, Or swing ere a second grey morn !" The brave Lord Leslie left the King, A doleful man I ween ; But a change took place in his comely face That day ere the fall of e'en. That day was holden a tournament, The Queen was taken ill— And who but the Lady Arabel Stewart Was chosen her place to fill. Right well she played her Queenly part, And charmed the hearts of a'; But for every smile she gave the rest She gave Lord Leslie twa. �7 When days had come and days had passed, Lord Leslie had no' swung, But for him and the Lady Arabel Stewart, The wedding bells were rung. And he has gotten a trusty page His messages all to bear, And sent him on to Mary Hay To break the tidings with care. To offer her gold, to offer her gear, To offer her houses or land— To tell her that she was free to love And marry a lowlier man. The news were said, the offers were made, And the salt tears did no' come ; But she sat like a statue, or corpse of the dead, As motionless, paly, and dumb. She never cast blame on her faithless lord, Nor uttered one word to displease, But she drooped her head like a frost-nipt rose, And faded by slow degrees. And day by day she withered away, Till the fell destroyer Death Laid his skeleton hand on her marble lips, And checked their quivering breath. Now word's gone on to Edinburgh town, And reached Lord Leslie's ear, That the cold earth lay on the Mary Hay "Whom he once had valued so dear. " 0 woe's me now !" Lord Leslie cried, As he tore his raven hair, "I've killed the fairest, dearest wife, That ever breathed Northern air. Love me, Lady Arabel Stewart! Well may you love me noo, For I've blighted the fairest flower of the North, And all for the sake of you ! Well may ye sigh, Lady Arabel Stewart, And well may your tears be shed ; But ye canna bring peace to this perjured heart, Unless ye bring back the dead !" �8 Lord Leslie fled away from his home, And none knew whither he went; His lands fell in to his next of kin, And his gold by his lady was spent. But when years had sped, and his lady was dead, And his name forgotten 'mongst men, A Hermit appeared in Powis's grounds, And made him a sort of a den. He prayed, and starved, and scourged himself, Till his lean frame leaner grew, But at last the curtain dropt on the scene, And then the truth we knew. For a scroll was found by the side of the corpse, And these were the words it bore : " This is the clay of Leslie the Earl, Who sinned and suffered so sore." I've told this tale of the days of old In a simple, homely strain, But if it create one thought like this, It has not been told in vain : An honest, truthful, rightful course Is the best for death or time, For present anguish and future woe Are the offspring of vice and crime.

This chapbook includes a tragic ballad of the Earl of Leslie, who falls in love and marries a young woman of lowly birth. When the King goes to war against the English who are raiding across the border, Leslie attends him and wins honour on the battlefield. But when the king brings back his lords to feast in Edinburgh, the Lady Annabelle Stewart, bastard sister to the king, falls in love with the handsome young lord and begs the king to marry them. Although Leslie insists he cannot marry because he already has a well-loved wife, the king gives him the choice of setting aside his low-born wife in favor of his sister, or hang. Leslie acquiesces and sends word to his wife, who dies of grief. When he hears of her fate, he rages against his wife and disappears. Years later, after his lands and wealth were gone and he had been forgotten, he returns as a hermit to Powis and endures a life of self-imposed penance and asceticism until his death reveals his true story. This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.

This maid was the daughter of a gentleman Of the name of M'Far lane, and of the same clan; But Grigor was born in a Highland isle, And by blood relation her cousin we style COME But where riches are wanting we oftentimes see Few men are esteemed for their pedigree. *Tis father was forced, when he was a child, To leave this realm; and, when he was exiled, His lands they were forfeit, I let you know, Because of rebellion, the truth for to show. Both gold and vast riches he with him did give For his education, and how he might live. And solely he to the care of his friend, Was left by his father to be maintained; He learned him, indeed, to read and to write, In all rules of Arithmetic he made him perfect ; In Latin and French he taught him also, That he through the world was fit for to go. The king was recruiting, and all hands did employ, While her father as a servant used this young boy. i. f llJX A, �For all kinds of drudgery he made him to serve* And still to keep him as a corps of reserve ; Such a beautiful young man was not in the place, None could compare with him in stature and grace. The charming Miss Katie was oft in the way, One day in love's passion she to him did say— My dear cousin Grigor, I've something to tell, Which now from my bosom this day I reveal: You know that with lovers I'm plagued to the heart, But you are the object that makes me to smart; If you do but love me, dear cousin, said she, I'm happy for ever, so therefore be free. Then, said he, dear Katie, I'm all in a stun, I suppose your intentions are nothing but fun; But had I a subject to balance with you, I'd think myself happy your suit I might trow. 0, said she, dear Grigor, I'm no way in jest, And if you deny me then death's my request; You know the substance and wealth that I have, 'Tis enough to uphold us both gallant and brave. I know that my parents for more riches are bent, But a few years by nature will make them extinct. Till which time, my Grigor, I do make this vowv That I never will marry another but you. 0, then he consented and flew to her arms, And said, my dear Katie, I'm killed by your charms But if your parents this fond love should know, Fhey soon will cause our sad overthrow. Of t'l it, my dear Grigor, be silent I pray, This night we will part, and will meet the next day, �Under the broad oak by the cave in the glen, Where more of my mind to you I'll explain. P A R T II. Her mother next morning, by the blink of h er eye, Betwix^t her and Grigor great love did espy, And she to her husband the same soon revealed, Giving orders to watch them as they're in the field. All day then her father went looking about, And after her he still kept a look out, Till hard on the evening she went to the glen, Where Grigor was waiting to hear her explain The way they would manage and make matters go, Her father did follow and heard them also, He stepped in softly, stood over the cave, Hearing their discourses, how they would behave. At length he advanced, cried Grigor what now ? Is this the reward from such an orphan as you ? You know I've maintained you since seven years old, And now your intentions they seem very bold. Then Grigor ask'd pardon, and thus he did say, Sir, I'm at your disposal, then do as you may ; The old man in a passion there chiding did stand, Till Katie took courage and speech into hand. Why mean ye dear father on us for to frown ? Was this man a beggar I'm sure he's our own, He's of our kindred, our flesh, and our blood, And you know very well his behaviour is good. T i s him that I chose for my husband, and shall; Go, give all your riches to whom that you will, �6 Do not think I'm a hog or a horse to be sold, Away to some num-skull that has nought but gold ? The father in a rage to the mother did go, And told their proceedings with sorrow and woe; He seem'd that night as his auger had been gone, Lest that young Grigor from the place should abscond. jJut he sent a messenger into Inverness, Which brought out a party young Grigor to press And for to make ready gave no time we hear, He ask'd but one i&vour, a word of his dear. When being denied, the old man with a frown, Said, soldiers can have sweathearts in every town • A t this the young lady cried bitterly, May the heavens requite you for your cruelty. Young Grigor took courage and marched away, When the Captain viewed him thus to him did say. For the lady that lov'd you, sir, I pity her case, Who's lost such a beauty and sweet blooming face. His lady cried out, what a wretch can he be, Caus'd press this young man for no perjury. His long yellow hair to his middle hangs down, O'er his broad shoulders so fine round and round Now Grigor considering his pitiful case, Received the bounty, and swore the peace; His captain unto him a furlough he gave, To see his dear Katie he once more hid crave. Two lines he then sent her by a solid hand, That he under the oak at midnight would stand, For to wait upon her, and hear her complaint, And there for to meet him she was well content. �3 Hf*r \ows she renewed, and with tears not a few, And a gold ring on's finger as a token she drew, Which was not to move, come death or come life, Till that happy moment he made her his wife. She fain would go with him but he answered no, For your parents would follow and cause us more w M y Maker be witness, and this green oak, said he, That I never shall love a woman but thee. iirf And there then he left her a-weeping full sore, Poor creature she never got sight of him more, For in a short time thereafter he went to the sea, And left the sight of Britain with the tear in his eye, And went to America, their orders being so, There proved a gallant soldier, and valour did show; That for his good behaviour they ne'er could him blame From a Corporal to a Sergeant he became. fV t; '' '' /' t' 3 :f 7 "yvol jmH ybal erf* wl n.r, < /, -\a& vtaB-u-.f J dpMci Jaol e'odW 5 P A R T III. vrn' on 'rol ns«i annoy 883KJ nanflJ Being near Fort Niagara in the year fifty-nine, On the thirtieth of July, as he always did iiicline To frequent the green-wood, at some distant place, To breathe out his sorrows his mind to solace.

And one of his fingers from his hand they had cut, On which was the gold ring from his lover he got.

It wanted a finger, and blood dropped there. Whereat the young lady was struck with amaze, And rose to run after and on him did gaze, && she knew it was Grigor, but how in that place, It made her to wonder and dread the sad case. With terror and grief home she did retire, And spent the whole night in weeping and prayer ; So early next morning she rose with the sun, And went back to the green oak to weep all alone. For always she esteemed that place as we hear, A s on it she got the last sight of her dear; As there she sat weeping and tearing her hair, Again the pale spectre to her did appear. And with a wild aspect it stared in her face, Then said, 0 dear Katie, do not me embrace, For I'm but a spirit though shining in blood, My body lies murdered in a foreign wood. There's two wounds in my body and three in my side, With hatchets and arrows that's both deep and wide My scalp and fine hair for a premium are sold, As also ihy finger with the ring of pure gold. �I Which you threw upon it as a mark of true love, Love's stronger than death, for it does remove, But my earnest desire it is for you, m^ dear, And till you are with me I'll still wander here. For this world's but vanity, all's but a vain show, 'Tis nought to the pleasures where we are to g o ; She went to embrace him, being void of all fright^ But he in a moment went out of her sight. Then home in great horror to her father did run, Crying, 0 ! cruel father now what have you done ? Grigor, lov'd Grigor came to me in blood, And his body lies murdered in an American wood. He showed me his wounds, and each bleeding sore, And therefore my pleasures on earth are no more, Her father looked at her as one being amaz'd, Then said my dear Katie, your brains they are craz'dL But still she mantained it and cried like a child, Never after was seen for to laugh nor to smile ; Brought to her all doctors, whose skill was in vain, But still gave opinion she was sound in the brain. Her body decayed, her face grew wan and pale, She soared to her true love, beyond death's dark vala, First her, then her mother, in one night expired, I hope she enjoys the bliss she desired. Now the old father cries, bereft of all joys, Though he has plenty of gold no girls nor boys. Let ail cruel parents to this take great heed, His pretty young daughter is now with the dead. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A young Lowland McFarlane woman falls in love with her cousin, the son of a dispossessed Jacobite Highland lord of clan who has been raised and maintained by her father as his ward. Despite his poverty, Grigor is well-educated, good-looking, and in the king’s service when his cousin, Katie, declares her love for him. Grigor at first does not take her proposal seriously, but when she assures him of her sincerity, he eagerly agrees to marry her, although she urges him to keep quiet until she has figured out how to arrange things without the knowledge of her disapproving parents. Before they can meet the next day, however, Katie’s mother discovers their romance and warns the father, who follows them to their arranged tryst and confronts them both. Grigor apologizes for his behavior, but Katie bravely stands up to her father, declaring that she is not a “hog or a horse to be sold, Away to some num-skull that has nought but gold,” and that Grigor is the only one for her. The father seeks to break them up and Grigor is pressed into military service. The two lovers arrange to meet in secret and pledge their troth with rings, but then Grigor is shipped off to serve in America. He is known for his bravery and good behavior and is promoted before being slaughtered by Indians at Fort Niagara in July 30, 1859. His corpse is scalped and mutilated, including cutting off his hand that bore his betrothal ring. At this instant, his spectre appears to Katie in Scotland, who is frightened by the bloody apparition. He appears to her a second time the next day and this time explains his death to her. When she cries and tells all of this to her father, he thinks she is crazy and sends for doctors, but no medicine can cure her broken heart and she dies soon after, to the regret of both her parents. The song ends with a warning to all parents against keeping young lovers apart lest they lose their children altogether.

SECTION I . — PRESIDENCY AND MINISTRY. The Plymouth Brethren say, IN Worship and Ministry, page 6, " T h e doctrine of the Holy Spirit's presence and supremacy in the assemblies of the saints is one of the most momentous truths by which the present period is distinguished." And further, the writer says, " He could not have fellowship with any body of professing Christians who substituted clerisy in any of its forms for the sovereign guidance of the Holy Ghost." In Christ the Centre, pages 7 and 9, " We search in vain in the New Testament for any church government except the sovereign guidance of the Holy Ghost Enter an assembly belonging to any denomination of the present day, . . . . the PRESIDENCY of the Holy Ghost is forgotten, a man fills his place." The Lord's Supper and Ministry, " N o gathering can claim to be a church of God save that company that meets in the name of Jesus, and in the dependence upon the presence, supply, and ministry of the Holy Ghost." The Scripture doctrine is, Eph. iv. 11, " H e gave some pastors and teachers." Acts xiv. 23, "They ordained them elders in every church." Phil. i. 1, " To all the saints which are at Phillippi with the bishops (or elders) and deacons." 1 Peter v. 1, " The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder." �4 Acts xx. 17, 28, " He sent for the elders of the church and said, take heed unto all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God." 1 Tim. iii. 1, 2. 4. 5, " If a man desire the office of a bishop (elder or overseer), he desireth a good work." " A bishop (elder or overseer) then must be . . . . apt to teach, . . . . one that ruleth well his own house, . . . . for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God." The Plymouth Brethren say, In Worship and Ministry, page 9, " N o one must take any part but that which he (the Holy Ghost) assigns Liberty of ministry is liberty for the Holy Ghost to act by whomsoever he will." The Ruined Condition of the Church, page 25, "The choosing of pastors is a daring encroachment on the authority of the Holy Ghost." The tract called The Brethren, page 17, " A s to elders, them an apostle chooses." C. J. Davis's Lecture, page 29, " I t is the Lord Jesus who presides over those who worship him, and such a thing as a human president the Word of God does not own at all." " Evangelists, pastors, and teachers, will be afforded as long as the church is on the earth. Neither the apostles nor the church ever ordained any of these." Inquiry into the Sabbath, the Law, and the Ministry, page 18, "Why was not the church at Ephesus, or why were not the churches of Crete, directed to elect elders" " W h y was the direction (to elect) given to Timothy and Titus without the slightest reference to the church." The Scripture says, Acts xiv. 23, " They ordained them elders in every church (not chose)." Titus i. 5, " For this cause left I thee in Crete, to ordain elders in every city." Acts vi. 3, " Wherefore look ye out among you, seven men . . . . whom we may appoint." �5 The Plymouth Brethren say, Presence and Operation of the Spirit, page 21, " I f God is there, is He not to make His presence known ? If he do, it is a manifestation of the Spirit in the individual who acts, it is a gift, and if you please, an impulse. It is God acting, that is the great point." Lord's Supper and Ministry, " To hinder any movement of the Spirit, when the saints come together into one place, or to tie down that movement to any defined system in our thoughts, is to quench the Spirit." Present Testimony, page 56, " It is not sobriety, as a Christian, to overlook or deny the present direct guidance by the Lord, through His Spirit, of His disciples, as being something over and above the written Word." Torquay Statement,'' We meet on the principle, that God the Holy Ghost alone has a right to speak in the meeting, and He has a right to speak by whom He will." Reasons for Leaving the Moravians, page 26, " Instead of looking immediately to one man, the Spirit should be waited upon to minister through whom He pleased." Scripture says, 1 Peter iv. 11, " If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God." 2 Tim. ii. 2, " The things thou hast heard of me . . . . the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." 1 Tim. iii. 2, " A bishop must be apt to teach." Heb. xiii. 7, " Remember them who have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God." Verse 17, " Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves, for they watch for your souls," &c. The Plymouth Brethren say, Mr. Govett quotes from Mr. Haffner, " That the practical denial of the presence of the Holy Ghost in the church existed at Ebrington Street, I am fully assured My assurance of this arises from a conversation I had with �6 Mr. Newton, just before leaving Plymouth, on the subject of preparation for ministery—when he said, that before coming to the Lord's table he did not see it at all wrong, to be prepared with what he had to say to the saints, This, beloved friend, shocked me much, very much, at the time, and shook my confidence. Our poor brother did thus practically deny the present leadings and guidance of the Spirit of God," Present Question, page 39, " The manifested judgment of the Spirit of God in one gathering of saints is valid for all." Walworth and Priory Correspondence, page 20, " I t is in this way the agency of the London Bridge meeting is working; on the one hand superseding and suppressing local responsibility; and on the other, usurping the authority of the Holy Ghost in the church by its Ecclesiastical documents." Same work, introduction, page 3, "The Woolwich assembly having, in Feb. 1861, without waiting for a trial, and in the absence of evidence, . . . . on ex-parte statements, pronounced Mr. Stewart to be excommunicated, thus practically denying the unity of the body and the presence of the Holy Ghost in the church to our common shame and humiliation." The above named Mr. Stewart in his Appeal, page 14 to 34, says, " The whole of this shameful procedure was got up by a faction, fed and fostered into an exaggerated form by dissimulation." " No pen could describe how, for fourteen years, the poor saints of God have been worried and perplexed in Jersey. How was this brought about? Through the cunning craftiness of men, . . . . aided by the councils and appeals of "plausible sanctimoniousness. Is it come to this pass, Brother Darby, that injustice banished from the slaveholders of America has found an asylum in the bosom of the brethren ? . . . I do not believe that any religious body could be found, unless it be the Mormons, where such a wanton outrage could be offered with impunity to truthfulness and honour Mr. Culverhouse, in his statement as to the Jersey, Guernsey, and London case, says, page 5 and 10, " The excitement and confusion which prevailed at the conference �7 precluded, I regret to state, all sober investigation, . . . . Insinuations, slanders, insolence, threats, and violence are resorted to. . . . I designate it an Inquisition." . . , . At the meeting of the 21st instant the doors were guarded and locked. A brother, on applying for entrance, was seized by the throat and thrust back. Our brethren, Mr. Darby, Mr. Wigram, Dr. Crenin, and Mr. Lean are the chief ruling members." The person so seized by the throat says, " I am extremely glad that I have been delivered from the worst sect that a Christian man can meet with under the canopy of heaven They pretend to be wholly led by the Holy Spirit, whereas all things are arranged beforehand—who shall lecture, who shall pray, who shall give out hymns." Scripture says, 2 Tim. iii. 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 7, 8,14-17, " In the last days men shall be lovers of their own selves, . . . . boasters, proud, blasphemous, . . . . false accusers, . . . . heady, high-minded, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, from such turn away Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, . . . . so do these also resist the truth, . . . . their folly shall be manifest to all But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, knowing of whom thou hast learned them, and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation All scripture is profitable for doctrine, &c., that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished, &c." 1 Tim. v. 17, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour (or support), especially they who labour in word and doctrine, . . . . for thou shalt not muzzle, &c., and the labourer is worthy of his reward." 1 Cor. xiv. 33, " God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." Verse 40, " Let all things be done decently and in order." �8 SECTION I I . — T H E D I V I N E HUMANITY OF CHRIST. The Plymouth Brethren say, Notes on Leviticus, pages 29, 30, "There is, however, one consideration which should weigh heavily in the estimation of every Christian, and that is, the vital nature of the doctrine of Christ's humanity. It lies at the very foundation of Christianity, and for this reason Satan has diligently sought, from the beginning, to lead people astray in reference to it, . . . . while I warn the reader against strange sounds, . . . . I would seek to arm him against them, by unfolding the doctrine of scripture on the subject." Page 31, " There is a real, a divine man, at the right hand." Page 35, " The second man was, as to his manhood, the Lord from heaven." Page 56, "The precious truth of Christ's heavenly humanity." Page 40, " Such was the humanity of Christ, that He could at any moment, so far as He was personally concerned, have returned to heaven, from whence He came, and to which He belonged." Page 36, "The conception of Christ's humanity, by the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin." Page 42, " Between humanity as seen in the Lord Jesus Christ, and humanity as seen in us, there could be no re-union. The spiritual and the carnal, the heavenly and the earthly, could never combine At this side of death there could be no union between Christ and His people." Page 45, " Though conceived, as to his manhood, by the Holy Ghost." Notes on Exodus, pages 276, 278, "Christ is called ' a heavenly man,' the angel informed Mary that divine power was to form a real man, the second man, the Lord from heaven." Pages 280, 281, and 265, " Christ was entirely heavenly, ' a heavenly stranger,' and travelled from the eternal throne of God in heaven down to the depths of Calvary's Cross." Notes on Genesis, page 9, " There is no blessing outside of, or apart from, the person of Christ, the heavenly man." �9 Page 19, " Yes, my reader, the Lord Christ, God manifest in the flesh, the Lord of the Sabbath, the maker and sustainer of heaven and earth, spent the seventh day in the dark and silent tomb" Scripture says, John i. 14, " The word was made flesh and dwelt among us." Heb. x. 5, " A body hast thou prepared me." Phil. ii. 7, 8, " H e was made in the likeness of man, and being found in fashion as a man," &c. Gal. iv. 4, "When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his son, made (or born) of a woman." 1 Tim. iii. 16, " Great is the mystery of Godliness, God manifest in the flesh." Heb. ii. 14, 16, " F o r as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same, . . . . for verily he took on him the seed of Abraham." SECTION III. —SOCINIANISM. Plymouth Brethren say, Notes on Leviticus, page 6," The primary aspect of Christ's work, was to God-ward. It was an ineffable delight to Him to accomplish the will of God on this earth." Page 7, " A perfect man on the earth, accomplishing the will of God, even in death, was an object of amazing interest to the mind of heaven." Page 10, "Christ in the burnt-offering, was exclusively for the eye and heart of God. This point should be distinctly apprehended." Page 11, " The burnt-offering does not foreshadow Christ on the cross bearing sin, but Christ on the cross accomplishing the will of God." Page 17, " The cross in the burnt-offering is not the exhibition of the exceeding hatefulness of sin, but of Christ's unshaken and unshakeable devotedness to the Father." Page 20, " T h e idea of sin-bearing, the imputation of sin, the wrath �10 of God, does not appear in the burnt-offering. True, we read, it shall be accepted for him, to make atonement for him, but then it is atonement not according to the depths and enormity of human guilt, but according to the perfection of Christ's surrender of himself to God, and the intensity of God's delight in Christ." Things New and Old, vol. i., pages 202, 203, " The burntoffering prefigures Christ on the cross, not as a sin-bearer, but as accomplishing the will of God It does not set forth the hatefulness of sin, but the preciousness and divine excellency of Christ, and His devotedness to God, even unto death." Scripture says, 1 Peter ii. 24, " Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree." Isa. liii. 4, " Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows." Verse 5, " H e was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities : the chastisement of our peace was upon him." Verse 6, " The Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all." Verse 12, " He bare the sin of many." Matt. viii. 17, "Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." Heb. ix. 28, "Christ was once offered, to bear the sins of many." Rom. iv. 24, 25, " Jesus our Lord was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." SECTION I V . — T H E RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST. The Plymouth Brethren say, Imputed Righteousness, pages 1, 6, " I t is very remarkable that the Scriptures never use the expression ' the imputed righteousness of Christ,' or even ' the righteousness of Christ,' but always ' the righteousness of God.' The words �11 ' the righteousness of God' do not mean ' the righteousness of Christ.' " Tribe of Levi, 3rd Ed., page 33, 44 I would observe here, that in speaking of the imputation of righteousness, I by no means desire to be understood as giving any countenance to the prevailing theory of ' the imputed righteousness of Christ:' of this expression, so much in use in the theology of the present day, it would be sufficient to say, that it is nowhere to be found in the oracles of God. I read of ' the righteousness of God,' and moreover, of ' the imputation of righteousness,' but never of ' the righteousness of Christ.'" Cease ye from Man, pages 16, 24, " To the believer now, righteousness is imputed without works. How ? Through the righteousness of Christ. The Scripture does not say so. Page 15, " The righteousness spoken of here (Rom. iii.) is evidently the righteousness of the Godhead, that essential attribute." Imputed Righteousness, pages 1, 2, 3, " It is very remarkable the Scriptures never use the expression, the righteousness of Christ, but always, the righteousness of God The subject of the first eight chapters of Romans is the unfolding of the righteous character of God." The Righteousness of God, page 14, " It is not the righteousness of God, a fact, an existing thing, which is spoken of, but righteousness of God, this quality of righteousness Pages 18, 19, 28, " The righteousness spoken of is God's being righteous (just is the same word). God's righteousness s the quality or character that is in God himself." Pauline Doctrine, page 16, " That in the Old Testament the Lord's righteousness means a quality in the character of God is beyond all question or controversy. Is it different wholly in the New ? I do not believe it" Justification. By the Rev. J. Harrison. Page 31," God's own essential righteousness is communicated to us." Scripture says, 44 They, Rom. x. 3, 4, 10, being ignorant of God's righteousness, . . . . have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for �12 righteousness, to every one that believeth. With the heart, man believeth unto righteousness." 1 Cor. i. 30, " But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us righteousness." Jer. xxiii. 5, 6, " Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise up unto David a righteous Branch . . . . and this is the name whereby he shall be called, T H E L O R D OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Gal. ii. 16, " W e have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ." Chapter iii. verse 24, " The law was our schoolmaster, to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Verse 6, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted [or imputed] unto him for righteousness." See, also, Rom. iv. 3, 5, 13. Rom. iii. 21, 22, "Now the righteousness of God is manifested, . . . . which is by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all that believe." Verses 24, 25, " God hath set forth Jesus Christ to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins." Isa. liv. 17, " And their righteouoness is of me, saith the Lord." Isa. Ixi. 10, " H e hath covered me with the robe of righteousness." Rom. iv. 6, " Even as David also describeth the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works." Rom. iv. 11, "That righteousness might be imputed unto them also." Rev. xix. 8, " The fine linen is the righteousness of saints." Rom. v. 19, " For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." Isa. xlv. 24, 25, Surely in the Lord have I righteousness . . . . In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified."

BAPTIZE the babies, by all means, Fond Mother Church exclaims; Whoever brings the babies in Gets parents for his pains. What though the babes do oft protest— Yet never mind their cries; Sprinkle the water on the face, E'en in their little eyes. The minister is very kind, And has a father's heart; But then the Church his mistress is, So he must do his part. Edwin, William, and Mary Ann, I name and claim them all; Oh bring the babies unto me— Bring them, both great and small! So says the Mother Church at Rome, And Luther's Church the same; The Presbyters and English Church Do all put in their claim. The Methodists this method have; The Independents too. Ye Baptists, why oppose our claim? Pray, sirs, and who are you ? �2 We like the babies quite as much A s infant sprinklers can ; We love them with a parent's heart, But cannot see your plan. Indeed! you'll find it in the Book. Which book, pray, do you mean? You do not read the Word of God, When sprinkling babes I've seen. But, then, the standards of our Church, Which standards we believe, Enjoin us to baptize the babes— So babies we receive. The mothers with their tender hearts, The fathers with their strong, Obey the dictates' of the Church, And gather in a throng. The priest or minister performs The simple sprinkling rite; The deed is done, the child is named— Oh, what a pleasing sight! Is this the ord'nance of the Lord ? What do the Scriptures say? What mean ye by this service now ? Ye clever clergy say. Y o u say it is Christ's ordinance: Christ's words, then, I demand, Or Paul's, or Peter's, even John's— Come, show me the command. �3 Oh ! this is how we dedicate The children unto God; Regenerate, or imitate The sprinkling of the blood. Into the Church they are received ; The privilege is theirs. To Christian joys they have a right; They are believers' heirs. It fits them for an early death— They to the kingdom go ; While babies unbesprinkled die, And sink to endless woe. What more? I ask impatiently, Did Christ this rite command ? Now tell me plainly—give a text; On Scripture I will stand. "Suffer the little children;" yes, " Forbid them not," we cry. That text of water baptism Now surely is quite dry. The promise to your children is, " L e t them believe," we say; To read the text, " your babies," is To read another way. Why twist and twirl these Scriptures so ? A text will make it plain; Analogy or inference Will never do the same. �4 Your doctrine and your ordinance W o r k on a parent's fears ; They take the vows which you impose, T o save a mother's tears. This did not Jesus, for He bless'd Mothers and children too ; He came to ease, not bind the yoke, That press'd upon the Jew. Say, has He giv'n to men like you The power He did not use ? Are these the Peter's keys, forsooth Are you in Peter's shoes ? Is dedication, baptism ? Does sprinkling change the soul What is the privilege you give, That water can control ? Y e parents, dedicate yourselves— Y e ministers the same ; Then train your children in the faith, And honour Jesus' name. Believe H e loves the infants well— Receives them when they sleep; The water makes no difference,— The lambs H e loves to keep. ? ? �THE LAND W E L I V E IN. FOR Let us give thanks to God; For birth beside its streams, and for A grave beneath its sod. It is a gracious privilege To breathe the self-same air Our noble dead have breathed, to live Where all is free and fair. I never climb the mountain-side, Or wander through the wood, Without a pitying thought of those Who may not share such good; Of faces pale in close, dark streets, Where green grass will not grow, Who work, and watch, and wait, and weep, That death should come so slow. What would they give to taste the sweets Of these wild-roses here ? That hang down with a loving look To every passenger. What would they give to bask and dream Beneath these leafy trees, To plunge into the sparkling wave, And drink the healthy breeze. To us, these gifts are common things— They're with us every day ; We know their beauty speaks of Heaven, Yet we forget to pray. The waters curving through the woods To hard, dry eyes are shewn; The hoary rocks are preachers all; God help us—we are stone. The very dust that blows about Reproaches us: 'tis mixed With ashes of brave Silure hearts On home and gods once fixed; Once glowing with a holy rage, When Roman foes drew nigh, And, rather than dishonoured live, Here showing how to die. Let us lift up ourselves, and be No more so mute and cold; Our every thought should be a hymn For these dear scenes we hold. For this delightful land of ours, Let us give thanks to God; For birth beside its streams, and for A grave beneath its sod. this delightful land of ours, � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/e9ab9c8bfecb8ce5f8e43512309fb4ff.jpg b1e8dee308e4ab563ce964e4f9ebbb1b Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

GLASGOW: PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS ��HISTORY OF SIR WILLIAM WALLACE. IT was in times of the deepest calamity, when Scotland as it were was overwhelmed with affliction, and sinking into the deepest despair, by the base conduct of an ignominious monarch, that Scotland was betrayed into the hands of the King of England, who put Scotland in a state of cruelty and oppresion, and sent blood and carnage over the land that Divine Providence, raised up Sir William Wallace, for a deliverer of his country, from the slavish submission to the English monarch, and a champion to avenge her wrongs. This remarkable hero was the son of Sir Malcolm Wallace, the proprietor of a small estate called Ellerslie, near Paisley, in the county of Renfrew. The exact period of his birth is not known; but it is supposed that at the time of his father's death, who was killed at the battle of Loudon Hill, in 1293, he was about fifteen years of age. His mother, after this disastrous event, fled with her son to the house of an uncle, where Wallace lived between two and three years. when a boy he had witnessed the �security and happiness of his country during the reign of Alexander I I I , and now when she was degraded and oppressed by the tyrant Edward, his countrymen despoiled of their goods, and their wives and daughters wantonly insulted by his English followers, the contrast was of such a nature as to arouse the keenest feelings in a heart which from its earliest stirrings was animated by a love of liberty to his country, which nothing but death could extinguish. Whilst brooding in secret over his country's wrongs, an event occurred which stimulated the powers of his mind and body into active existence, and for ever banished all hope of conciliation betwixt him and the enslavers of his country. He had formed an attachment to a beautiful young woman in the town of Lanark, and when passing through that burgh, well armed and somewhat richly dressed, he was recognised by a troop of English soldiers, who surrounded and insulted him. Wallace at first would have prudently got dear of their insolence; but a contemptuous stroke which one of them made against his sword, provoked him to draw, and he laid the culprit dead at his feet. A tumult now arose, and, almost overpowered by numbers, he escaped with difficulty into the house of his sweetheart, and through it, by a back passage, into the neighbouring �woods. For facilitating his escape, the unfortunate girl was seized next day by the English sheriff, and with inhuman cruelty condemned and executed. But Wallace's revenge when he heard of her unmerited fate wasasrapidasitwasstern. That very night he collected thirtyfaithfullyand powerful partisans, who, entering the, town when all were in their beds, reached the sheriff's lodgings in silence. It was a building constr wood, and the sheriff's apartment communicated with the street by a high stair. Up this Wallace rushed at midnight, and, beating down the door, presented himself in full armour, and with his naked weapon, before the affrighted officer, who asked him whence he came, or who he was? " I am William Wallace," he replied, "whose life you sought yesterday : and now thou shalt answer me for my poor maiden's death." With these words he seized his naked victim by the throat, and passing his sword through his body, cast the bleeding wretch down the stair into the street, where he was immediately slain. He then speedily withdrew with his followers into the woods which surrounded the town. For his daring act of retaliation he was accused by the government of murder, and sentence of and outlawry being passed against him, an immediate and eager pursuit was adopted. Wallace, �however, was intimately acquainted with the country, and found little difficulty in defeating every effort for his apprehension. Before proceeding further, however, in the detail of Wallace's personal history, and in order better to understand the narrative which follows, it becomes necessary to take a short review of the state of matters at that time in Scotland, and the course of events which led to the series of transactions. Upon the death of Alexander I I I . a number of candidates appeared for the Scottish crown; and among others were Robert Bruce and John Baliol, both descendants of David I. The right of the former was certainly the preferable one; but when the right of succession was not distinctly settled, the claims of both had supporters. It was at last proposed, to refer their claims to Edward I. of England, one of the most powerful monarchs of that day. Edward, who had long cherished ambitious designs upon Scotland, was delighted with this proposal, and by way of pon with a great deal of solemnity, summoned the Scottish nobles to Norham, where, he soon Baliol, to acknowledge him Lord Paramount, and swear fealty to him in that character. adjusting the matter, which he now prevailed on all present, no �It was on this occasion maintained by Edward, that the English monarchy were the natural and acknowledged superiors of the kingdom of Scotland, which only an appanage of the English crown; and that at different periods this right had been authenticated by the homage of the Scottish princes. Now the fact was, that these acts of fealty were only rendered for possessions of the Scottish sovereigns lying on the northern frontier of the English dominions. These territories, from their being situate on the threshold of the two kingdoms, had formed the theatre of many sanguinary conflicts; and had at divers times changed masters, till they came at last to be considered as belonging to Scotland. For these possessions it had been the practice of some of the Scottish kings, at different periods, to do homage, to those of far inferior note, for tracts of land acquired in this manner; and instances were not awanting of the English monarchs themselves, rendering that sort of subjection to the kings of France. It was now contended, however, by Edward, that the homage or fealty on these occasions had been done for the entire kingdom of Scotland. This was the first step in Edward's ambitious views. Under pretence of transmitting the full authority into the hands of the successful �8 candidate, he next demanded the temporary possession of all the fortresses of the kingdom: which, strange to say, were passively yielded into his hands, with the exception of the castles of Dundee and Forfar, then held by Gilbert de Umfraville, looked-for mandate, unless a written indemnity should be given at the hand of the Scottish nobles, freeing him from all share of blame. T h e claim of Baliol was at last, 17th December 1292, declared the preferable one, and that personage, having again acknowledged the English king as his lieg lord, was placed by him on the Scottish throne. who refused compliance with T h e insuits and degradation to which he was subjected at last roused even the complying spirit of Baliol, and in the bitterness of his soul he could not help communicating his feelings to the nobles of his court, who, at his instigation, now unanimously disclaimed their hasty allegiance to the English monarch. " The silly traitor," exclaimed Edward in derision, when Baliol's refusal to attend his summons was communicated to him, " if he will not come to us we will go to him." Edward now entered Scotland with a large conqueror; Edinburgh Castle surrendered after army; one stronghold after ano �9 a slight resistance; Stirling Castle almost without a struggle; others were abandoned : the spirit of the nation was extinguished : and Baliol again submitted to the terms of the conqueror. In this invasion Edward had been joined by Bruce and his adherents, who conceived a prospect was opened up of that nobleman obtaining the crown. But Edward, when order was restored, and the matter hinted to him, contemptuously replied, " Have we nothing else to do but to conquer kingdoms for y o u ? " Bruce made no reply, but retired into obscurity, and passed the remainder of his days in quietness and opulence. It was in the month of July 1296 that Edward finished at Elgin his expedition northward against his army committed the most dreadful excesses; and still more to complete the subjugation of Scotland, the English monarch ordered all the charters and public papers which could in any Way exhibit proof of the independence of the realm to be destroyed. H e also carried off the celebrated stone, belonging to the coronation chair of the Scottish kings, from the palace of Scone, where it had been kept for ages, and deposited it in Westminister Abbey. But all these indignities, added to the oppression and misrule of Edward's lieutenants in Scotland, only served the Scots. On his return to the south �io I to'exasperate, and at last to rouse into fearful action, the slumbering hatred of the nation. A mong the foremost of those who banded themselves against the English'was Wallacc, who now first publicly appeared on the scene. He was a man eminently fitted for his perilous enterprise; for to the most ardent love of his country, unshaken resolution, and prodigious strength of body, he added those firm yet conciliatory manners which are necessary to govern rude ari(l tumultuary ranks; while the personal and family injuries he had sustained at the hands of the English gave tenfold vigour to his efforts. A prediction also of Thomas the Rhymer, asserted that by the arm of Wallace was the independence of Scotland to be achieved. T o be aquainted with the strength and resources of the English, Wallace often disguised himself, and visited their garrisons and towns. H e took precaution to wear a light coat of mail under his common clothes ; his bonnet, which to common sight was nothing more than a cap cloth or velvet, had a steel basnet concealed imder i t ; a collar or neck-piece, of the same metal, fitted him so closely, that it was hid completely, and below his gloves he had strong gauntlets of plate. Relying on his Herculean strength and secret armour, b e fearlessly ventured into the very �88/WJ fi{t'T b" V < 11 y. } ) Q n j.;f . middle of his enemies, and when they ventured to taunt or assail him, found that they had to do with an assailant in full armour and of undaunted courage. While thus disguised, personal encounters with his enemies were of frequent occurrence. He slew a buckler-player at Ayr, and put to flight a number of soldiers, who attempted to rob him of his day's sport as he fished in Irvine water. He repaid the rudeness of Squire Long-castle by a mortal thrust in the throat with his dagger; and by many such bold and daring adventures he slew many of his foes. In the spring of the year 1297, the people were suffering grievously from famine, to relieve #ie English garrison of Ayr, a large train of waggons, under the protection of John de Fenwick, took their journey from Carlisle to that town. O f this Wallace was informed, and although he could then only muster about fifty soldiers, he determined to attack it. Having occupied a strong position within a wood, he put up a temporary fortification, and passed the night. In the grey dawn of the morning, he and his men left their horses, and occupied a narrow valley which the convoy was to pass. Forward came Fenwick at the head of a force which far outnumbered them, and, confident in his own numbers* �12 if ne did not hesitate to Attempt forcing the pass • Rut teVas soon convinced of his error.

The Scottish champion, finding himself thus basely deserted, by the leading men who surrounded him, retired northward. On his march with those who still remained faithful to his fortunes, he was joined by many new followers, and even received considerable accessions to his ranks from the vassals of several barons. Finding his army, by reason of these accessions, once more on a formidable footing, Wallace renewed the war, and commenced operations by laying siege to Dundee, a place of considerable strength. The English leaders were no sooner apprized of Wallace's movements in that quarter than they hastened to meet him, and with that intent advanced in the direction of Stirling. Intelligence of their march having been speedily communicated to the Scottish champion, he instantly resolved to meet them on their approach. He then charged the citizens of Dundee, under pain of death, to continue the blockade, and commenced his march, hastening to seize the important pass �14 which divides the Ochil from the Grampian Hills, so that the English forces, when ready to pass the Forth by the bridge at Stirling, were astonished to see the Scottish army drawn up on a rising ground near the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, and prepared to oppose their passage. Edward's governor, here attempted to practise the same arts which had beed so successful while at Irvine. The men which Wallace now had, were of a very different stamp from those dastardly and perfidious barons with whom it was his misfortune on that occasion to be allied. All terms of compromise were promptly and sternly rejected, " Return," said Wallace to the two friars sent by Warrene to propose an accommodation; " We came not here to treat but to assert our rights, and set Scotland free. Let them advance, they will find us prepared." Thus the English commanders were thrown into perplexity as to what plan of operations they should follow. T o attempt to force a passage along the bridge, in the face of an enemy soadvantageouslyposted and so full hopes, would be a step fraught with manifest danger, On the other hand, to decline the contest with an enemy inferior in many respects, would be held disgraceful. While engaged in these deliber �15 the Scots in their present position appeared more and more hazardous to all the English commanders, except Cressingham the treasurer, who exclaimed " Let us fight, as is our bounden duty." The boisterous eloquence of Cressingham prevailed, and the rest of the leaders yielded a reluctant assent, contrary to the advice also of one of Wallace's late perfidious associates, Sir Richard Lundin, who offered to point out a ford at a short distance, by taking advantage of which they could fall on the rear and flanks of the enemy. Wallace, Exhorting his followers solely to abide by his orders for the moment of attack, Wallace allowed about a third of the English army fairly to clear the bridge; when rushing down, while the others were defiling along the bridge, with an unlooked for and almost incredible impetuosity, the Scots precipitated themselves on their yet unformed ranks. The shock was like that of a mountain-torrent. The English seemed to have been, as it were, instantaneously swept off the earth. Thousands were slain on the field or drowned in the river; among the rest their rash adviser, Cressingham, whose dead body was treated with great indignity by the Scots, who abhorred him for the tyranny which he had always displayed against their country. A panic seized the English, who had witnessed this sudden �16 overthrow and destruction of their companions: they hastily burned the bridge to secure their retreat, and, fleeing with the utmost rapidity, they scarcely halted till they had reached Berwick, leaving all their baggage and other ammunition in the hands of the victors. Few among the Scots fell in this engagement. This battle, so fatal in its issue to the English, took place on the 11th September 1297. Wallace pushed on with rapid steps to Dundee, which in a short time capitulated. One stronghold after another fell into the hands of the patriots, and the country was soon freed from the tyranny of her oppressors. By reason of bad seasons and want of cultivation, the country was reduced to a most deplorable state of privation and want, amounting almost to famine. T o relieve in some measure the general pressure, as well as to retaliate on the invaders, an expedition into England was put under the command of Wallace, and the young Sir Andrew Murray, whose father fell at Stirling. The Scots poured into the northern counties, Berwick was taken, and the whole country completely overrun and wasted; and so great was the revenge of the Scots at this time, that Wallace himself and the other commanders were altogether unable to restrain their excesses. �Many wonderful facts are told of Wallace's exploits he defeated the English in several combats, chased them almost entirely out of Scotland, regained the towns and castles of which they had possessed themselves, and recovered the complete freedom of the country. He even marched into England, and laid Cumberland and Northumberland waste, and humbled the English. In the north of Scotland, the English had placed a garrison in the strong castle of Dunnottar, overhangs the raging sea. Though the place is almost inaccessible, Wallace and his followers found their way into the castle, while the garrison in great terror fled into the church or chapel, which was built on the very verge of the precipice. This did not save them, for Wallace caused the church to be set on fire. A number of the terrified garrison, involved in the flames, ran upon the points of the Scottish swords, while others threw themselves from the precipice into the sea, and swam along to the cliffs, where they hung like sea-fowl, screaming in vain for mercy and assistance. The followers of Wallace falling on their knees before the priests who chanced to be in the army, they asked forgiveness for having committed so much slaughter within the limits of a church which, built on a large and precipitous roc �iti dedicated to the service of God. But Wallace had so deep a sense of the injuries which the English had done to his country, that he only laughed at the contrition of his soldiers,—" I will absolve you all myself," he said. " It is not half what the, invaders deserved at our hands ? " So deep seated was Wallace's feeling of national resentment, that it overcame, the scruples of a temper which was naturally humane. The Scots returned from England in triumph, laden with plunder; where they had spread terror along the whole border, to the gates of Newcastle. Edward once more resolved to invade Scotland, at the head of 80,000 infantry and 7000 horsemen, he in person led on the march, holding his course northward he passed through Edinburgh, and fixed his head-quarters at Templeliston, a village between that city and Linlithgow, where he resolved to abide till his victualling ship should arrive. While stationed here he received intelligence that the Scots were advancing upon Falkirk, a town about 12 miles distant He resolved to give battle. But passed the night under arms on a heath, an accident happened to their king which th for the present to suspend the attack. As he lay on the ground, his war-house struck himwitha �violence which broke two of his ribs ; but, disregarding the pain, he mounted the horse and instantly led his troops to battle. The Scots were formed in a stony field on a slightly rising ground, in the near vicinity of Falkirk. Their infantry were drawn up in four circular bodies, while the archers were disposed in the intervals. The horse, amounting only to a thousand, were posted in the rear. In front of the whole lay a morass. " Now," said Wallace, " I have brought you to the ring ;hopingif you can ;"—that is, " dance if you have skill." Edward's chief dependence was on his cavalry, 4000 of whom were cased in complete armour. These he ranged in three lines. The first was led by Bigot, Earl Marshal, and the carls of Hereford Lincoln; the second by the bishop of Durham, having under him Sir Ralph Basset of Drayton; the third, to act as a reserve, was commanded by the king in person. The assault was begun by the English horse, who, finding the passage of the morass, which lay in front of the Scots, to be impracticable, made a simultaneous attack on the right and left flanks of their enemy. The left flank made a determined and bloody resistance ; but the Scots' cavalry, panic struck by the overwhelming appearance of the English horse which, as well us their riders, were equip �20 heavy plates of steel, fled on their near approach, Wallace with his gallant infantry had now to sustain, unsupported, the whole shock of the English army, who again and again threw themselves with headlong fury upon the Scottish circles; but, " they could not penetrate into that wood of spears." After sustaining these repeated charges with the most determined resolution, the outer ranks were at last broken by dense showers of stones and arrows, which the English poured in upon them in aid of the heavy onsets of their horse. Macduff and Sir John Graham had by this time fallen, as also Sir John Stuart, who commanded the archers ; almost all of which last had perished by the side of their beloved commander, whose death by their devoted bravery they so amply revenged. The rout was now becoming universal, when Wallace, collecting the shattered remains of his forces, commenced a retreat across the Carron,—a movement which, by his precaution caused little loss.— Among those who most eagerly pressed on their rear was Bruce, who on this occasion had again leagued himself with the English. Exasperated at the sight of this with his two handed sword dealt him a blow, which, though it missed Bruce's head, was yet aimed with such prodigious strength as to cleave selfish traitor, Wallace suddenly d �21 his horse to the ground. With Sir Brian le Jay, aknighttemplar of high military renown, the Scottish hero was more successful. With a single blow of his battle axe he laid him dead in the midst of his followers. Wallace now retreated across the Forth. But previous to this movement, and while wandering on the banks of the Carron, Wallace was recognised by the misguided Bruce, who descried him from the opposite bank, and, with the view perhaps of justifying his own dastardly conduct, ascribed to ambitious motives, in his opposition to the English. " No," said Wallace, " my thoughts never soared so high; I only mean to deliver my country from oppression and slavery, and to support a cause which you and others have abandoned. If you have but the heart, you may yet win a crown with glory, and wear it with justice. I can do neither: but will—live and die a free born subject." The generous mind of Bruce was much struck with these glorious sentiments; he repented that he had joined Edward; he felt that he had secretly determined to seize the first opportunity of joining his oppressed countrymen. In this battle, the loss on both sides was very greater. The number of the English, according betrayed his country and his own right �to history of credit, amounted, as before stated, to nearly 90,000 men, while that of the Scots scarcely reached to a third part of the amount. Among the Scots who fell none was more regretted than Sir John the Graham, whose death was deeply mourned by Wallace. Sir John was buried at Falkirk, where a monument was erected to his memory, on which there is the following inscription : — " Graham is buried here, slain in battle by the English: he was strong in mind and body, and the faithful friend of Wallace." The battle of Falkirk led the way to further successes on the side of the English, and almost the whole of the southern districts were reduced under their power. The Scots still held possession of the country north of the Forth. In the mean while Wallace, mortified by the treachery of the nobles, who threw every obstacle in the way of his being of any efficient use in the cause of his country, and disgusted with their quarrels and jealousies, retired for a while into obscurity. About this time, he took a voyage to France, with a small band of trusty friends, to try what his presence might do to induce the French monarch to send to Scotland a body of auxiliary forces, to aid the Scots in regaining their independence, but in the mean time bishop Lamberton, Bruce, earl of Carrick, and JohnCummingthe 1 �23 younger submitted to Edward, but Sir William Wallace, with a very small band of followers refused either to acknowledge the usurper, Edward, or to lay down his arms. He continued to maintain his native country, for no less than seven years after his defeat at Falkirk, and for more than one year after all the other defenders of Scottish liberty had laid down their arms. Many proclamations were sent out against him by the English, and a great reward was set upon his head ; for Edward did not think he could have any secure possession of his usurped kingdom of Scotland while Wallace lived. A t length he was taken prisoner ; and, shame it is to say, a Scotsman, called Sir John Menteith, was the person by whom he was seized and delivered to the English. It is generally said that he was made prisoner at Robroyston, near Glasgow : and the tradition of the country bears, that the signal made for rushing upon him and taking him at unawares, was, when one of his pretended friends, who betrayed him, should turn a loaf, which was placed on the table, with its bottom or flat side uppermost. And in after times it was reckoned ill-breeding to turn a loaf in that manner, if there was a person named Menteith in company ; since it was as much as to himself among the woods and mountain �24 remind him, that his namesake had betrayed Sir William Wallace, the Champion of Scotland. Edward having thus obtained possession of the person whom he considered as the greatest obstacle to his complete conquest of Scotl ved to make Wallace an example to all Scottish patriots, who should in future venture to oppose his ambitious projects. He caused this gallant defender of his country to be brought to trial in Westminster hall, where he was accused of having been a traitor to the English crown; to which he answered, " I could not be a traitor to Edward, for I was never his sub Notwithstanding this most honourable defence, Wallace was shamefully condemned to be executed as a traitor ! and Edward to his infinite reproach and disgrace, ordered Wallace to be dragged upon a sledge to the place of execution, where his head was struck off, and his body divided into four quarters, which, in conformity to the cruel practice of the time, were exposed upon pikes of iron upon London Bridge,— his right arm above the bridge at Newcastle,— his left was sent to Berwick,— his right foot and limb to Perth, and his left quarter to Aberdeen,—and termed the limbs of a traitor! He was executed FINIS. the 23d of August, 1305. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/9e1d4c14a09463747aec3d91da13a433.jpg 201a5934e99bd8f7057cbde8f23c7bfc Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
