'My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go.'

'Were it not for the French and the caterpillars we should be quite happy;
but the former disturb our peace and the latter our gooseberries.'
