* From Urbani's Selection of Scots Songs^ circa 1792. These verses are a slij^litly altered version of the old song, " The Siller Crown."^
The air was composed by Miss Grace Gorbett, of Edinburgh, when she was only eleven years old. Both the words and melody were copied
into Jolinson's Museum, vol. vi., song 5S5.
