COMPOSED BY H E R
HUSBAND.
Some men they do delight in hound?
And some in hawks take pleasure,
Some do rejoice in war and wounds,
And thereby goiri great treasure.
Some men do love on sea to sail;
And some rejoice in riding;
Bat all their judgments do them fail—
O! no such joy as chiding.
When in the morn I ope my eyes,
T o entertain the day,
Before my husband e'en can rise,
I chide him—then I pray.
When I at table take my place,
Whatever be the meat,
I first do chide—and then say grace,
If so dispo&'d to eaU
Too fat, too lean, too hot, too cold,
I ever do complain.
Too raw, too roast, too young too old
Faults I will And or feign.
�4
Let it be flesh, or fowl or fish,
It never shall be said,
But I'll fi,nd fault with meat or dish,
With master, or with maid.
But when I go to bed at night,
I heartily do weep,
That I must part with my delight—
1 cannot scold and sleep.
However this doth mitigate,
And much abate my sorrow,
That though to-night it be too late,
I'll early scold to-morrow.
T H E H I G H L A N D LAD-DIE.
The Lawland lads think they are tine,
But O! they're vain and idly gaudy;
How much unlike the g r a c e d mein,
And manly looks of my Highland laddre.
O my bonny Highland laddie;
My handsome, charming Highland laddie,
May heaven still guard, and love reward,
The Lawland lass and her Highland laddie.
If I were free at will to choose
T o be the wealthiest Lawland lady,
�I'd tak young Donald without trews,
With bonnet blue and belted plaidw.
0 my boniiie, fyc.
Tlie brawest beau in burrows town,
In a' his airs with art made ready,
Compared to him, he's but a clown,
He's finer far in's tartan plaidie.
O my bonnicy fye.
O'er benty hills with him I'll run,
And leave my Lawland kin and daddit;
Frae winter's cauld, and simmer's sun,
He'll screen me with his Highland plakfce.
O my bonnicy Sfc.
A painted room, and silken bed,
May please a Lawiand laird and lady;
But I can kiss, and be as glad,
Behind a bush, in's Highland plaidie.
O my bonnie,
F*w compliments between us pass,
l e a ' him my dear Highland laddie;
And he ca'sme his Lawhind lass,
Syne rows me in beneath his plaidie.
0 my bo7uiie9 tyc.
Xac greater joy I'll e'er pretend,
Than that his love proves true and steady
�6
Like mine to him, which ne'er rhall end,
While Heav'n preserves ray Highland laddie.
0 my bonnie, fyc.
B I L L Y AND N A N C Y ' S
PARTING.
I T was on a Monday morning,
just at the break of day,
Our ship she slipt her cable
and we were bound to sea:
The wind blew from the south-east,
and from Greenock we were boond,
The streets they were all garnished,
with pretty maids all round.
There was a pretty sailor
all in his blooming years,
H e came unto his true love,
with bitter sighs and tears;
And he came unto his true love,
to let her understand,
That he was going to leave her
into some foreign land.
Why say you so dear Billy?
these words do break my heart,
Come let us now be married,
before that we do part:
�7
These fourteen weeks nni longer.
I'm going with child to the*,
So stay at home dear Billy,
be kind and marry me.
If I should stay at home, my dear,
another would take my place,
It would be a shame to mc, love,
besides a sad disgrace:
The King he's wanting men, my dear,
and I for one must go,
And for my very life, love,
I must not answer no.
Well, I'll cut off my yellow hair,
man's clothes I will put on,
And I will go along with you,
to be your waiting man:
Like a true and faithful servant,
I on my love will wait,
No storm nor danger will I fear,
let it be e'er so great.
Your waist it is too slender,
your fingers are too small,
I fear you will not answer me,
when I do on you call,
W4ien cannons they do rattle,
and bullets tbey do fly,
And silver trumpets sounding,
to drown the dreadful «ry.
�8
If I should meat a bonny lass,
that's merry, blythe and gay,
And on her set my fancy,
what would my Nancy say?
What would I say dear Willy,
but I would love her too,
It's I would step aside, my dear,
till she would pleasure you.
Why, say you so, de-ar Nancy!
you now do gain my heart;
Come, let us now be married,
'before thpt we do part.
This o u p l e now are married,
and sailing o'er the main,
All goodness may att?nd them,
till they return again.
T O G E T H E R L E T US RANGE,
Together let U9 range the fields,
Impearl'd with the morning dew,
Or view the fruit the vineyard yields,
Or the apples clustering bough.
There in close embowered shades,
Impervious to the noontide ray,
By tinkling rills—or rosy beds,
We'll love the sultry hours away.
FINIS.

THE GOLDEN GLOVE.
A wealthy young 'squire of T amworth we hear,
He courted a nobleman's daughter so fair;
And for to marry her it was his intent,
All friends and relations had given their consent.
The time was appointed for the wedding-day,
A young farmer was chosen the father to be ;
As soon as the lady the farmer did spy,
It flamed her heart, 0 my heart, she did cry.
She turned from the 'squire, nothing she said,
Instead of being married she went to her bed,
The thoughts of the farmer still run in her mind,
The way for to have him she soon then did find.
Coat, waistcoat, and breeches she then did put on,
And a-hunting she went with her dog and her gun
She hunted all round where the farmer did dwell,
Because in her heart she lov'd him so well.
She oftentimes fired, but nothing she killed,
At lengtn the young farmer came into the field;
�3
Then for to talk with him it was her intent,
With her dog and gun to meet him she went
I thought you had been at the wedding, she cry'd,
To wait on the/squire to give him his bride ;
No, sir, said the farmer, if the truth I may tell,
I'll not give her away, for I love her too well.
Suppose that the lady should grant you her love,
You know that the 'squire your rival will prove ;
0 then, says the farmer, I'll take sword in hand,
By honour I'll gain her, or my life's at command.
It pleased the lady to hear him so bold,
And she gave him a glove that was flower'd with gold,
She told him she found it in coming along,
As she was a-hunting with her dog and her gun.
The lady went home with her heart full of love,
And she gave out a speech she had lost her glove ;
And the man that does find it and bring it to me,
The man that does find it, his bride I shall be.
The farmer was pleased when he heard the news—
With a heart full of joy to his lady he goes ;
Dear honoured lady, I've pick'd up your glove,
If you will be pleased to grant me your love.
It is already granted, I will be your bride,
1 love the sweet breath of a farmer, she cry'd ;
I'll be mistress of the dairy and milking the cows,
While my jolly brisk farmer is whistling at plows.
�4
THE ANSWER.
The 'squire he returned in a furious mood,
Swearing to be revenged in the farmer's blood;
But fortune to the farmer proving more kind,
Disappointed the 'squire of his cruel design.
The 'squire and farmer by chance did meet,
Says the 'squire to the farmer, you are undiscreet
For taking from me my lovely sweet bride ;
You shall either fight me, or die by my side.
With all my whole heart, the farmer did cry,
To fight for my jewel I'll never deny ;
So to work with vigour they instantly went,
But the 'squire yielding, gave the farmer content.
And now they are married in great splendour we hear,
The farmer possesses nine thousand a^year ;
With his beautiful lady, and likewise his hall,
He has men and maid-servants, and all at his call.
Here's a health to plough-boys, the lady did cry,
That I'm wed to a ploughman I'll never deny,
Because they are men of honour, and that we are sure,
And also do labour for both rich and poor.
After the wedding she told of the fun,
How she hunted the farmer with a dog and gun;
But now I have catched him so fast in my snare,
I'll enjoy him for ever, I vow and declare.
�5
GET UP AND B A R THE DOOR.
It fell upon a Martinmas time,
And a gay time it was then,
When our goodwife got puddings to make,
And she boil'd them in a pan.
The wind sae cauld blew south and north,
And blew into the floor,
Quoth our goodman to our goodwife,
Get up and bar the door.
My hand is in my hussy's skap,
Goodman as you may see,
An' it should na be barr'd this hundred year,
It's no be barr'd for me.
They made a paction 'tween them twa,
They made it firm and sure,
That the first word whae'er should speak,
Should rise and bar the door
Then by there came twa gentlemen,
At twelve o'clock at night,
And they could neither see house nor hall,
Nor coal nor candle light.
Now, whether is this a rich man's house ?
Or whether is it a poor ?
But ne'er a word would ane o' them speak,
For barring of the door.
�6
And first they ate the white puddings,
And then they ate the black ;
Tho' muckle thought the goodwife to hersel',
Yet ne'er a word she spak'.
Then said the one unto the other,
Here man, take my knife,
Do ye tak* aff the auld man's beard,
And I'll kiss the goodwife.
But there's nae water in the house,
And what shall we do then?
What ails you at the pudding bree
That boils into the pan ?
0 up then started our goodman,
An angry man was he ;
Will ye kiss my wife before my face.
And scad me wi' pudding bree ?
Then up then started our goodwife,
Gi'ed three skips on the floor ;
Goodman, you've spoken the foremost word,
Get up and bar the door.
NOW Y E ' R E F A R AW A', LOVE.
Oh ! now ye're far awa', love,
Ye're far awa' frae me,
O'er woodland glens, and rocky dens.
And o'er the raging sea.
�7
I stand upon the rocky shore,
The rocky hills behind,
I spy the distant ship afar,
That's driven with the wind.
I see the waves around her rise,
Ten thousand billows roar ;
The foaming surges lash the skies
Behind her and before.
Unto the winds I gave a sigh,
Unto the waves a tear ;
Up to the skies I send my cry,
0 for my dearest dear.
Kind Providence, oh! hear my voice,
Oh, wilt thou her life save ?
Oh, keep her from the sunken rocks,
And from a watery grave.
For, though she's borne awa' frae me,
Across the raging main,
Our hapless loves may yet revive,
Were we to meet again.
THE CHOUGH AND CROW.
The chough and crow to roost are gone,
The owl sits on the tree,
The hush'd wind wails with feeble moan,
Like infant charity.
�8
The wild fire dances on the fen,
The red star sheds its ray ;
Up-rouse ye then, my merry men.
It is our opening day.
Both child and nurse is fast asleep,
And closed is every flower,
And winking tapers faintly peep,
High from my lady's bower ;
Bewildered hinds with shortening ken,
Shrink on their murky way ;
Up-rouse ye then, my merry men,
It is our opening day.
Nor board nor garner own we now,
Nor roof nor latched door,
Nor kind mate, bound by holy vow,
To bless a good man's store.
Noon lulls us in a gloomy den,
And night has grown our day ;
Up-rouse ye $ien, my merry men,
And use it as ye may.

Charlie is My Darling.
Charlie is my darling, my darling, mv darling,
Oh ! Charlie,-is- my darling, the young Chevalier;
' I w a s on a Monday morning right early in the
year,
W h e n Charlie came to our town* the y o u n g
Chevalier.
A s he came riding up the street, the pipes played
loud and clear;
A n d a' the Folk came running out, to meet the
Chevalier.
Oh ! Charlie is my darling, my darling, my darlings
Oh ! Charlie is my darling, the young Chevalier.
Wi* Highland bonnets on their heads,
A n d claymore's bright arid clear ;
They came to fight for Scotland's right
Aiid the young Chevalier.
They've left their bonny Highland hills,
Their wives and bairnies dear ;
T o draw the sword for Scotland's L o r d ,
T h e young Chevalier.
Qh ! Charlie is my darling, &c.
Come tell me where the Maid is Found.
Come, tell me where the maid i§ found,
Whose heart can love without deceit,
A n d I will range the world around,
T o srgh one moment at her feet.
�3
O b ! teil me w^ere's her sainted home,
W h a t air receives her blessed sigh ;
A pij.grimage of years I'll rqam,
T o catch one sparkle of her eye.
And if her cheek be rosy bright,
W h i l e truth within her bosom lies,
I'll gaze upon her morn and night,
Till my heart leave me through my eyes.
Show me on earth a tiling so rare,
I'll own ail miracles are true ;
T o make one maid sincere and fair,
Oh ! 'tis the utmost heaven can do.
Down in a Valley.
Don't von remember a poor peasant's daughter,
In mat. russet gown, and apron so blue,
W h o won the affections of many that sought her,
Down in a valley where sweet violets grew.
T h e bluish on her cheek was modesty dawning*
Her lips were untainted the rose's sweet hue,
Unclouded by sorrow, she pass'd night and morning,
D o w n in a valley where sweet violets grew.
T h e soft matchless beauties dame nature had given,
W e r e pure as the crystalline drop of the dew,
Which painted sweet innocence mild as the heav'n,
D o w n in a valley where sweet violets grew.
But ah ! hapless sorrow, soon frost-nipt her beauty,
She droop'd as a blossom when robb'd of its hue,
i;>r love forc'd to yield to filial duty,
D@wn in a valley where sweet violets grew,

Doctor Monro,
* Dear Doctor, be clever, and fling off your beaver,
Come, bleed me, and blister me, do not be slow ;
I ' m sick, I'm exhausted, my schemes they are
blasted,
A n d all driven heels-o'er-head, Doctor Monro.'
* Be patient, dear fellow, you foster your fever ;
Fray, what's the misfortune that bothers you *o ?'
4 O, doctor! I ' m ruined ! I'm ruined for ever !
M y lass has forsaken me, Doctor Monro.
* I meant to have married, and tasted the pleasures,
T h e sweets, the enjoyments, In wedlock that flow;
But she's ta'en another, and broken my measures,
And fairly con fou nd ed me, Doctor Monro.*
* r f l bleed and 1 11 blister you, over and over ;
I'll master your malady ere that I g o ;
j
But raise up your head from below the bed-cover,
A n d give some attention to D o c t o r Monro,
j
If Christy had wed you, she would have misled
you,
And laughed at your lore with some handsome
young beau ;
j
H e r conduct will prove i t ; but how would yon
love i t ? '
4 1 soon would have lamed her, dear Doctgi
Monro. 1
- Each year brings a pretty young son or a dauglij

Perhaps you're th« father, but bow shall yott

You

* That thodghtY like to murder me, D o c t o r
Monro.'
* T h e boys cost you many a penny and shilling;;
You breed them with pleasure, with trouble and
wo:
But one turns a rake, and,another a villain.''—
4 M y heart could n o t bear it, dear Doctor M o n r o /
6 T h e lasses are comely, and dear to your b o s o m ;
But virtue and beauty has many a foe !
O, think what may happen; just nipt in their

* A h , merciful Heaven ! cease, D o c t o r Monro.
•Dear Doctor, I'll thank you to hand me my
breeches ;
F m better -9 1 1 drink with you ere that you g o ;
1
r i l never more sicken for women or riches,
But love my relations and Doctor Monro.
I plainly perceive, were 1 wedded to Christy,
My peace and my pleasures I needs must fore-go/
H e still lives a bachelor; drinks when he's thirsty ;
And sings like a lark, and loves Doctor Monro.
Now Rosy May comes in w.i Flowers.

Waken, Lords and Ladies Gay.
W a k e n , lords and ladies gay,
On the mountains dawns the d a y ;
All the jolly chase is here,
W i t h hawk, and horse, and hiniting spear,
Hounds are in their couples yelling.
Hawks are whistling horns are knelling ;
Merrily, merrily, mingle they,
W a k e n , lords and ladies gay.
W a k e n , lords and ladies gay,
T h e mist has left the mountain gray ;
Spring lets in the dawn are streaming.
Diamonds in the break are gleaming;
�J
And foresters have bwsy been
T o trace the buck in thicket green :
Now we come to chant our hay,
Waken, lords and ladies gay.
W a k e n , lords and ladies gay,
T o the green wood haste away ;
W e can show you where he lies,
Fleet of foot and tall of size :
W e can show thfc marks hie made
W h e n "gainst" the oak his antlers frayed;
Y o u shall see him brought to bay,
Waken,' lords and ladies gay.
Louder, louder chant the lay,
W a k e n , lords and ladies gay ;
Tell them, youth, with mirth and glee,
Eun a coursevas well as we :
T i m e , stern huntsman ! who can balk,
Staunch as hound and ileet as hawk ;
Think of this and rise with day,
Gentle lords and ladies gay,
Hope told a flattering Tale.
H o p e told a flattering tale,
That j o y would soon return,
A h ! nought my sighs avail,
For L o v e is doomed to mourn.
Ah ! where's the flatt'rer gone ?
From me for ever flown,
T h e happy dream of love is o'er,
Life, alas ! can charm no more,

Come when the wee bat flits silent an "eerie;
C o m e when the pale face o' nature iooks weary.
Love he thy sure defence.
Beauty an* innocence
O ! Jeanie, there's naething to fear y e .
Sweetly blaws the haw an' the rowan-tree.
Wild roses speck our thieket so breerie :
Still, still will our bed in the greenwood b e —
O ! J eanie there's naething to fear ye :
Note when the blackbird o' singing grows weary,
List when the beetle bee's bugle comes near ye :
Then come with fairy haste,
Light foot an' beating breast—
O ! Jeanie, there's naething to fear ye.
Far, far will the bogle an' brownie be ;
Beauty and truth they darena come near it.
Kind love is the tie of our unity ;
A' maun love it, an' a* maun revere it.
L o v e maks the song o' the woodland sae cheerie,
L o v e gars aVNature look bonnie that's near y e ;
L o v e maks the rose sae sweet,
Cowslip an' violet—
O ! Jeanie, there's naething to fear ye.

TAK* YOUR A^TLtt CLOAK ABOUT YE,
In winter when the rain rain'd caulcl,
And frost and snaw on ilka Kill,
And Boreas, with his blast sae baulcj.
Was threatening a' our kyrto kill.
Then Bell, my wife, wha lo'es nae strife,
She said to me right hastily,
Get up, goodman, save Crummie's life.
And tak' your auid cloak about ye.
My Cruminie is a useful cow,
And she is come of a good kin'.
Aft has she wet the bairns' mou\
And I am laith that she should tyne ;
Get up, goodlnan, it is fu* time,
The sun shines frae the lift sae hie,
Sloth never made a gracious end,
Go tak* your auld cloak about ye.
My cloak was ance a guid grey cloak,
And fitting for my wear ;
But now it's scantlv worth a groat,
For I've worn't this thretty year,

Let's spend the gear that we hae won*
We little ken the day we'll die :
Then I'll be proud, since I hae sworn*
To bae a new cloak about, me.
Jsrf^d aHwmow tiuiww >d oJ j fguoV!
in days when our King Robert rang,
His trews they cost but lialf-a-ci;own ;
He said they were a groat too dear,
And ca'd the tailor thief and loon.
He was the king that wore a crown,
And thou a man of laigh degree ;
Tis pride puts a' the country down,
Sae tak your auld cloak about ye.
Every land has its ain burgh,
Ilka kind o' corn has its ain liool;
I think the world has a' gane daft,
When ilka wife her man wad rule.
Do you not see Bab, Jock, and Hab,
How they are girded galiantlie,
While I sit hurklen in the ase ;
I'll hae a new cloak about me.
Goodman, I wat it's thretty year
Since we did ane anither ken;
And we hae had between us twa,
Of lads and bonny lasses ten.
Now they are women grown and men,
I wish and pray weel may they be;
And why wilt thou myseV misken?
E'en tak your auld cloak about ye.

Bel! my wife, she lo'es nae strife.
But she wad guide me if sli6 can ;
And to maintain an easy life,
I oft maun yield, tho' T m goodman.
Nought's to be won at woman's hand,
Unless ye gi'e her a' the plea;
.Safe I'll leave aff where I began,
And tak my auld cloak about me.
LOW DOWN IN THE BROOM.
My daddie is a canker'd carle,
He'll no twin wi' his gear,
My mither she's a scolding wife,
Hands a' the house a steer.
But let them say, or let them do,
It's a' ane to me,
For he's low down, he's in the broom
That's waiting on me ;
Waiting on me, my love,
He's waiting on me ;
For he's low down, he's in the broom
That's waiting on me.
My auntie Kate sits at her wheel,
And sair she lightlies me,
But weel I ken it's a' envy,
For ne'er a joe has she.
But let them say, &c.
•
�My cousin Kate was sair beguil'd
With Johnnie in the gleii ;
And aye since syne she cries, beware
Q* false, deluding men.
But let them say, &e.
Gleed Sandy he cam wast ae night,
And spier'd when I saw Pate ?
And aye since syne the neighbours round
They jeer me ear' and late.
But let them say, or let them do,
It's a' tine to me,
For I'll gae to the bonny lad
That's waiting on me ;
Waiting on me, my love,
He's waiting on me ;
For he's low down, he's in the broom
That's waiting on me.
ROGER AND NELLY.
'Twas in the prime of summer time,
Quite pleasing was the weather,
Young Roger would a wooing go,
By the consent of his mother ;
So he was drest all in his best.
Quite smart without a wrinkle,
A rusty sword down by his side,
Tied on with beggars inkle.
�6
Then Roger call'd to his man John,
Go fetch me out odd Dobbin,
Comb out his mane, cock up his tail,
That it may not hang bobbing.
With a saddle-tree bound down with hay,
Which is a thing so proper,
And a patten ring, tied in a string
Of linsey-wolsey cropper
*
Then Roger to his chest would go
Straightway to unlock it,
Three halfpence of old Irish coin
He put into his pocket.
With the bridle best, pick'd from the rest,
Which he had for a,stirrup ;
A besom stick he had for a whip,
With half a yard of cart-rope.
Then Roger rose and took the road,
They took him for a 'torney,
With his pistol long, it was well load,
For fear he should be robbed ;
And every little while he said,
Come mend your pace, old Dobbin;
Should night o'ercast we'll lose our road,
Then let us both keep joggin'.
Then Roger to the town did go,
For his doxy to inquire ;
Making a rout he found hereout,
JSText door to the town-crier.
�7
Then he s^id to his dear Nell,
Let us in wedlock join,;
But first tell me thy fortune.
And then I'll tell thee mine.
*
I have a box without a top,
A spade without a handle,
A pepper box, an old cart rope,
And half a farthing candle;
A washing tub, a pewther dish.,
A pestle and a mortar,
A leathern bucket old and good,
'Twill serve us years in future.
'
. M erit * too cpb miU VI
Besides, says she, it is well known
I have great store of linen,
Full forty yards of hemp and yarn,
And all "of my own spinning.
0 then, says Roger, it's well known
I've Dobbin in the stable*
A pig, a calf, a crown and half,
And a rare old kitchen table.
'.oibfiifu ' mi T»f ffo'i haA
Besides, says he, I have a house,
Fetches fifteen-pence a quarter,
An old bedstead without a head,
And a pot to catch your water.
Come, said he, my dear sweet Nell,
Let us to church be jogging ;
With all my heart, I'll say my part.
Go fetch me out old Dobbin.
�8
So then to church they did repair,
And in wedlock's bands were joined ;
When all was o'er, to bed they went,
And now their toils are ended.
A LASSIE LIVES BY YONDER BURN.
A lassie lives by yonder burn
That jinks about the seggins,
There aft she gi'es her sheep a turn,
To feed amang the brakens.
Could I believe she'd woo wi' me,
In spite of mam or daddie,
I'd aften slip out owre the lea,
An' row her in my plaidie.
Her breast to busk I'd violets pu?
That blaw aboon the boggie,
And blue bells hingin' wat wi' dew
Frae yonder glen sae foggie.
Could I believe she'd woo wi* mef
An' tak me for her laddie,
I'd aften slip out owre the lea,
And row her in my plaidie.
I maun awa, I canna stay,
Should a* gang tapsalteerie ;
Should bogles meet me in the way,
This night I'll see my dearie.
I'll ben the spence and dress a-wee,
Wi' knots and buglits fu' gaudy,
For I canna rest until I see
Gin she'll come in my plaidie.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The chapbook contains two humorous songs in Scots. The first describes the adventures of a group of friends attending a fair in Glasgow, including quite a bit of drinking, eating, dancing, flirting, fighting, and other tom-foolery, including the comical misidentification of some livestock. In the second song, Auld John Paul, an elderly but sprightly widower, woos an alewife. After some sweet talk and fighting off some of his would-be rivals for the widow’s hand, the two are married at a well-attended wedding

We are na fo'u, we're no that fou,
But just a drapyie in oui;,e'e ;

But aye we'll taste the barley bree.

ADDITIONAL VERSES.
Thus Willie, Ral), and Allan sang,
Thus paas'd the night wi' mirth and glee,
And aye the oh or tis a' night lang,
Was, " As we're now, we hope to be."
And ay they tog, " we are hi a fou,
But just a drappie in eure'e,;
The cock may craw, the day may daw',
But aye we ll taste the barley bree.
That time for them the cock did craw,
The harbinger of morn to be ;
That time for them the day did c.aw',
Wi' gowden tint o'er tower and tree.
And aye they sang, &c.
That time for them the moon's pale horn
Did wax and wain o'er land and sea,
But now has dawn'd tlie hapless morn,
That gilds the graves o* a' the three.
Nae mair they sing, " We are na fou,
Nae mair the drappie's in their e'e,
Nor cock does craw, nor day does daw',
Nae mair they'll taste the barley bree/?
Thus Learning makes for Willie main,
For Robin, Poesy wipes her -e'e,
And Science wails for Allan gane,
Since death's dark house hauds a' the three.
�4
Then Britons mourn for genius rare,
A' victims o' the barley bree,
And ban the bree that cou'dna spare
The youthfu' lives o1 a' the three.
TIS THE LAST ROSE OF S U M M E R
'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone ;
All her lovely companion
Are faded and gone ;
No flower of her kindred,
No rose-bud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,.
Or give sigh for sigh!
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem,
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them ;
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow
When friendships decay,
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie wither'd,
And fond ones are flown,
0 ! who could inhabit
This bleak world alone.
�5
TO MARY IN HEAVEN.
Thou lingering star, with less'ning ray,
That lov'st to greet the early morn,
A.^ain thou usher st in the day
My Marv from my soul was torn.
0 mary, dear departed shade!
Where is thy place of blissful rest ?
thou thy lover lowly laid ?
Hear'st thou the groans that rend his breast
That sacred hour can I forgot !
Can I forget the hallowed grove,
Where by the winding Ayr we met,
To live one day of parting love!
Eternity will not efface
Those records dear of transports past,—
Thy image at our last embrace-;—
Ah! little thought we 'twas our last!
Ayr, gurgling, kiss'd his pebbled shore,
Oerhung with wild woods, thick'ning, green
The fragrant birch, and hawthorn hoar,
Twin'd am'rous round the raptur'd scene.
The flowers sprang wanton to be prest,
The birds sing love on every spray,
Till too, too soon, the glowing west
Proclaim'd the speed of winged day.
Still o'er these scenes my mem'ry wakes,
And fondly broods with miser care:
Time but the impression stronger makes,
As streams their channels deeper wear.
�6
My Mary, dear departed shade!
Where is thy pl$u?e, of blissful rest?
Seest thou thy lover lowly laid ?
Hear'st thou the groans that rend his breast?
THE HIGHLAND LADDIE.
The Lawland lads think they are fine,
But 0 ! they're vain and idle gaudy ;
tlow much unlike the gracefu' mien,
And manly looks of my Highland laddie.
0 my bonriie Highland laddie,
My handsome, charming Highland laddie ;
May heaven still guard, and love reward,
The lawland lass and her Highland laddie.
If I were free at will to choose,
To be the wealthiest Lawland lady,
I'd tak young Donald without trews,
With bonnet blue, and belted plaidie.
0 my honnie, &c.
The brawest bean in burrows town,
In a' his airs, wi' art made ready,
Ccmpar'd to him, he's but a clown,
He's finer far in's tartan plaidiq.
0 my bonnie,, &€.•
O'er benty hill wi' him PM run,
And leave my Lawland kin and daddie ;
�7
Frae winter's cauld and summer's sun,
He'll screen me wi' his tartan plaidie.
0 my bonnie, &c.
A painted room, and silken bed,
May please a Lawland laird and lady ;
But I can kiss, and be as glad,
Behind a bush in's tartan plaidie.
0 my bofmie, &c.
Few compliments between us pass ;
I ca' him my dear Highland laddie,
And he ca's me his Lawland lass,
Syne rows me in beneath his plaidie.
0 my bonnio, &e.
Nae' greater joy I'll e'er pretend,
Than th&t his love prove true and steady,
Like mine to him, which ne'er shall end,
While Heav'n preserves my Highland laddie.
0 my bonnie, &e.
THE CONFESSION.
With sorrow and repentance true,
Father, I trembling Come to you ;
I know I've too indulgent been
To one, but oh! forgive the sin.
To one whom still I love, tho' he
Ungrateful proves, and false to me ;
Then let me on my knees confess
How I've been tempted to transgress.
�Oh! rev'rend father, if you knew
The charms of him, alas! untrue ;
0 had you heard the false one swear
1 was the fairest of the fair ;
You could not, holy Sir, refuse
So slight a weakness to excuse ;
He swore my eyes were loveliness,
Ah! let me then my fault confess.
To grief, eternal grief a prey,
His name is all my heart can say ;
When bath'd in sad repentant tears,
Still to my mind his name appears ;
Yes, 'tis that name, that name alone,
Which bends me now before thy throne
Alcander—but I can't express,
Oh ! Father, must I then confess ?
Ah ! tell him, should he come to you,
Should he, like me, for mercy sue ;
Of all the crimes by heav'n accurst,
Tell him inconstancy's the worst;
Tell him that he who's false in love,
Can ne'er hope pity from above ;
Tell him that I alone can bless,
And send him to me to confess.

YOU.
�SONGS.
BLUE BONNETS OVER THE BORDER.
March, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale,
Why, my lads, dinna ye march forward in order ?
March, march, Eskdale and Liddesdale,
All the blue bonnets are bound for the border.
Many a banner spread, flutters above your head,
Many a crest that is famous in story ;
Mount and make ready then, sons of the mountain
glen,
Fight for your queen, and the old Scottish glory.
Come from the hills where your hirsels are grazing,
Come from the glen of the buck and the roe ;
Come to the crag where the beacon is blazing,
Come with the buckler, the lance, and the bow.
Trumpets are sounding, war-steeds are bounding,
Stand to your arms, and march in good order ;
England shall many a day tell of the bloody fray,
When the blue bonnetf pame over the border.

WHEN BLESS'D W I T H LOVE AND YOU
When first I saw jour charming face,
And heard your soothing tongue,
Your image in my heart did place,
And sung the cheerful song ;
Compos'd of love in every strain—My ardent passion knew,
And thought myself a happy swain,
When bless'd with love and you.
When bless'd,&c.
And when I met you in the grove,
Your eyes beam'd brightest fire,
Which spoke the kindest notes of love,
That kindled with desire.
'Twas then I felt love's keenest pain,
Which ne'er before I knew,
Yet thought I was a happy swain,
When bless'd with love and you.
When bless'd, &c.
And as along the banks we stray'd,
I ask'd if you'd be mine ?
When thus replied the generous maid,
For ever I am thine!
The which did banish all my pain,
My cares and troubles too,
And I am now a happy swain,
Being bless'd with love and you.
Being bless'd, &c.
�JUDY MAGRATH.
O Judy Magrath, I am dying for you,
You're rich to the taste as a fine Irish stew,
Your locks are as bright as the priest's sandy wig,
You're tender and fair as a young sucking pig;
By Cupid's big dart (to complain is no use)
I'm run through the heart like the spit through a
goose.
O Judy Magrath, won't you pity my grief,
I'm roasted with love like a sirloin of beef;
When basting your mutton, or making a pie,
Your grace makes me just like a bellows to sigh ;
But vinegar looks to my sighs you oppose,
Your words are like mustard, they bite off my nose.
O Judy, &c,
O Judy Magrath, you are cruel in troth,
Of love shall I never be tasting the broth,
My courage when up, och! ye soon can put down,
The coal-scuttle isn't more black than your frown ;
In vain at your feet I am dying all day,
You're deaf as a sauce-pan to all I can say.
THE BLOOM IS ON THE RYE.
My pretty Jane, my pretty Jane!
A h ! never, never look so shy,
But meet me, meet me in the evening,
While the bloom is on the rye.
O
�The spring is waning fast, my love,
The corn is in the ear
The summer nights are coming, love,
The moon shines bright and clear.
Then pretty Jane, my dearest Jane!
A h ! never, never look so shy,
But meet me, meet me in the evening,
While the bloom is on the rye.
But name the day, the wedding day,
And I will buy the ring ;
The lads and maids in favours white,
And village bells—the village bells shall ring
The spring is waning fast, my love,
The corn is in the ear,
The summer nights are coming, love,
The moon shines bright and clear.
Then pretty Jane, my dearest Jane!
Ah! never, never look so shy,
But meet me, meet me in the evening,
While the bloom is on the rye.
THE LILY OF FRANCE.
Let the lily of France in luxuriance wave,
Let the shamrock of Erin its beauty maintain,
Let the rose of fair England still wave its perfume,
But the thistle of Scotland will dearest remain.
To Scotia her thistle, her broad waving thistle,
The evergreen thistle will dearest remain.
�'Twas the badge that our fathers triumphantly wore,
When they follow'd their sovereigns to vanquish the
Dane ;
The emblem in battle our Wallace aye bore,
Then the thistle of Scotland must dearest remain.
To Scotia her thistle, &c.
It blooms on our mountains, it blooms in the vale,
It blooms in the winter, in snow, and in rain ;
The type of her sons when rude seasons assail—
To Scotia her thistle will dearest remain.
To Scotia her thistle, &c.
THE LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS.
The light of other days is faded,
And all their glory's past,
For grief with heavy wing hath shaded
The hopes too bright to last;
The world which morning's mantle clouded,
Shines forth with purer rays ;
But the heart ne'er feels, in sorrow shrouded,
The light of other days.
But the heart ne'er feels, in sorrow shrouded,
The light of other days.
The leaf, which autumn tempests wither,
The birds, which then take wing,
When winter's winds are past, come hither
To welcome back the spring ;
�The very ivy on the ruin,
Its gloomful life displays ;
But the heart alone sees no renewing
The light of other days.
But the heart alone sees no renewing
The light of other days.
RORY O'MORE.
Young Rory O'More courted Kathleen Bawn,
He was bold as a hawk, and she, soft as the dawn,
He wish'd in his heart pretty Kathleen to please,
And he thought the best way to do that was to teaze ;
" Now, Rory be aisy," sweet Kathleen would cry,
Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her eye,
With your tricks I don't know, in troth, what I'm
about,
Faith, you've teaz'd till I've put on my cloak inside
out;
" Oh ! jewel," says Rory, "that same is the way
You've thrated my heart for this many a day,
And 'tis plaz'd that I am, and why not, to be sure ?
For 'tis all for good luck," says bold Rory O'More.
" Indeed then," says Kathleen, "don't think of the
like,
For I half gave a promise to soothering Mike,
The ground that I walk on, he loves, I'll be bound,"
"Faith," says Rory, " I ' d rather love you than the
ground,"
�8
" Now, Rory, I'll cry, if you don't let me go;
Sure I dream every night that I'm hating you s o ! "
" Oh!" says Rory, " that same I'm delighted to hear.
For dhrames always go by conthrairies, my dear;
Oh! jewel, keep dhraming that same till you die,
And bright morning will give dirty night the black lie,
And 'tis plaz'd that I am, and why not, to be sure?
Since 'tis all for good luck," says bold Rory O'More.
Arrah Kathleen, my darlint, you've teaz'd me enough,
And I've thrash'd for your sake Dinny Grimes and
Jim Duff,
And I've made myself, drinking your health, quite a
baste,
So I think, after that, I may talk to the priest:"
Then Rory, the rogue, stole his arm round her neck,
So soft and so white, without freckle or speck,
And he look'd in her eyes, that were beaming with
light,
And he kiss'd her sweet lips—don't you think he was
right?
" Now Rory, leave off, Sir—you'll hug me no more,
That's eight times to-day that you've kiss'd me before,"
" Then here goes another," says he, " t o make sure,
For there's luck in odd numbers," says Rory O'More.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO STAND.
THE LASSIES OF SCOTLAND.

FAREWELL TO THE MOUNTAIN

�THE BRIDAL RING,
I dream'd last night ofurrearlierdays.
Ere I sigh'd for a sword and a feather ;
As we danc'd on the hill in the moon's pale rays,
Hand in hand together.
I thought that you gave me again that kiss;
More sweet than the perfume of Spring,
When I press'd on yourfingerlove's pure golden pledge,
The Bridal Ring, the Bridal Ring.
I dreamt I heard thee in the bugle's sound,
And at once was forc'd to sever,
When I fell on the heath with my last dead wound,
Lost to thee for ever.
I thought that you gave me again that kiss,
Imperiled like a flower in Spring,
'Neath its warmth I awoke, on this dear hand I press'd
The Bridal Ring, the Bridal Ring.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO STAND.
Queer scenes now are all the go,
You cannot say I'm wrong;
And there is one I'd have you know
I've work'd into a song.
�3
Go where I will—in every street,
I'm shook, Sirs, by the hand,
No matter who it is I meet,
What are you going to stand?
One morning I'd been to get some cash,
From a swell at the west end ;
Resolv'd I was to cut a dash,
When I met with a friend.
I told him of the errand I'd been,
When he takes me by the hand,
I'm glad to hear't, my boy, says he
What are you going to stand.?
Says I, I doesn't mind a drop,
My spirits for to rouse ;
So then we toddles into a shop
Near to Somerset house,
Inside a lot began to shout,
As if t had been a plan ;
It is not often we get you out,
Now what are you going to stand ?
I spent, Sirs, very, near a crown,
My cash was getting shorter,
For the liquor it went rolling down,
As though it had been water.
A wench began my arm to shake,
I could her hide have tann'd,
When she said, for old acquaintance sake,
What are you going to stand ?
�Thinks I, egad, this will not do,
So I bolted from the lot;
But run against a man I knew,
Ere a hundred yards I got;
I told him of the crew I'd met,
Says he I understand ;
Now you've escaped from such a lot,
What are you going to stand ?
My song I'll now conclude in this,
You'll all agree I think,
My friends, that this is quite the March
Of Intellect for Drink.
When the landlord he puts out their light,
I'll take him by the hand,
You've had a very good room, my boy, to-night.
What are you going to stand ?
THE LASSIES OF SCOTLAND.
The lassies of Scotland are bonny and free,
The maidens of Erin are fair,
The sweet girls of Britain are lovely to see,
And let them deny it who dare ;
But the fairest of lassies
That all those surpasses,
Is Jeannie, the Maid of the Moor.
Is Jeannie, lovely Jeannie, the maid of the Moor.
The lassies of Scotland are tender and true,
The maidens of Erin are kind,
�5
The sweet girls of Britain can monarch's subdue,
And lovely in person and mind;
Yet the fairest of lassies,
That all those surpasses,
Is Jeannie the maid of the moor,
Is Jeannie, lovely Jeannie, the maid of the moor.
The lassies of Scotland are fam'd far and near,
The maidens of Erin breath love,
The sweet girls of Britain to Briton's are dear,
And soft as the down of the dove.
Still the fairest of lassies,
That all those surpasses,
Is Jeannie the maid of the moor,
Is Jeannie, lovely Jeannie, the maid of the moor,
THE BANKS OF THE BLUE MOZELLE.
When the glow-worms glide the elfin flower,
That clings round my ruin'd shrine ;
When first we met, when first we lov'd,
And I confessed thee mine ;
'Tis there I fly to meet thee still,
At the sound of the Vesper Bell,
In the starry light of a summer's night,
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle.
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle.
If the cares of life should shade thy brow,
Yes, yes in our native bowers,
My lute and harp might best accord,
To tell of happier hours.
�6
'Tis there I'd soothe thy grief to rest,
Each sigh of sorrow quell,
In a starry light of a summer's night,
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle,
On the Banks of the blue Mozelle,
FAREWELL TO THE MOUNTAIN.
Farewell to the mountain,
And sun-lighted vale,
The moss-border'd streamlets,
And sun-lighted vale.
All so bright, all so fair.
Here a seraph might dwell,
'Tis too lovely for me.
Farewell! Oh, Farewell!
Farewell, for how sweetly
Each sound meets mine ear ;
The wild bee and butterfly,
They may rest here.
Hark, hark, they are hum,
How it blends with the deep convent bell,
'Tis too lovely for me,
Farewell,—Oh, Farewell.
THE MACGREGOR'S GATHERING.
The moon's on the lake, and the mist's on the brae,
And the clan has a name that is nameless by day ;
Our signal for fight, which from monarchs we drew,
Must be heard but by night in our vengeful haloo ;
Then haloo, haloo, haloo, Gregalach.
�7
If they rob us of name and pursue us with beagles,
Give their roofs to the flames; and their flesh to the
eagles,
Then gather, gather, gather, Gregalach.
While there's leaves in the forest, and foam on the
river,
Macgregor, despite them, shallflourishfor ever.
Glenorchy's proud mountain, Colchurn and her towers,
Glenstrae and Glenlyon no longer are ours
We're landless, landless, landless, Gregalach.
Through the depths of Loch Katrine the steed shall
career,
O'er the peak of Benlontond the galley shall steer,
And the rocks of Craig Royston like icicles melt,
Ere our wrongs be forgot, or our vengeance unfelt,
Then vengeance, vengeance, vengeance, Gregalach.
'TWAS MERRY IN THE HALL.
Now ancient English melodies
Are banish'd out of doors,
And nothing's heard in modern days,
But Signoras and Signors.
Such airs I hate,
Like a pig in a gate,
Give me the good old strain,
When 'twas merry in the hall,
The beards wagged all,
We shall never see the like again,
We shall never see the like again.
�8
On beds of down our dandies lay,
And waste the cheerful morn,
While our squires of old would rouse the day
To the sound of the bugle horn.
And their wives took care
The feast to prepare ;
For when they left the plain,
Oh, 'twas merry in the hall,
The beards wagged all,
We shall never see the like again,
We shall never see the like again.
'Twas then the Christmas tale was told,
Of goblin, ghost, or fairy,
And they cheer'd the hearts of the tenants old
With a cup of good canary ;
And they each took a smack
At the cold black jack,
Till the fire burn'd in their brain ;—
Oh, 'twas merry in the hall,
The beards wagged all—
May we all see the like again,
May we all see the like again.
