II.

What force or guile could not subdue, Thro' many warlike ages,

Is wrought now by a coward few,

For hireling traitors' wages.
The English steel we could disdain,
Secure in valour's station;

But English gold has been our bane-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation.

III.

O would, or I had seen the day

That treason thus could fell us, My auld gray head had lien in clay,

Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace! But pith and power, till my last hour, I'll mak' this declaration; We're bought and sold for English goldSuch a parcel of rogues in a nation.

HERE'S HIS HEALTH IN WATER.

Tune-" The Job of Journey-work."

ALTHO' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
Altho' my back be at the wa',

Yet, here's his health in water! O! wae gae by his wanton sides, Sae brawlie he could flatter; Till for his sake I'm slighted sair,

And dree the kintra clatter. But tho' my back be at the wa',

And tho' he be the fautor; But tho' my back be at the wa', Yet, here's his health in water!

THE LASS OF ECCLEFECHAN.

Tune-"Jacky Latin."

I tint my whistle aud my sang

I tint my peace and pleasure; But your green graff, now, Luckie Laing Wad airt me to my treasure.

1 une if thou lt play me fair play.

I.

THE bonniest lad that e'er I saw, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie, Wore a plaid, and was fu' traw, Bonnie Highland laddie.

On his head a bonnet blue,

Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie; His royal heart was firm and true, Bonnie Highland laddie.

II.

Trumpets sound, and cannons roar,

Bonnie lassie, Lowland lassie;
And a' the hills wi' echo roar,
Bonnie Lowland lassie.
Glory, honour, now invite,

Bonnie lassie, Lowland lassie, For freedom and my king to fight, Bonnie Lowland lassie.

III.

The sun a backward course shall take,
Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie,
Ere aught thy manly courage shake,
Bonnie Highland laddie.

Go, for yourself procure renown,

Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie; And for your lawful king, his crown, Bonnie Highland laddie.
