THE BATTLE OF PRESTONPANJ.
Tfee Chevalier being void of fear,
did march up Bridie brae man ;
And through Tranent e'er he did stent,
as fast as he could gae man,
While general Cope did taunt and mock,
wi' mony a loud huaea man ;
But e'er next morn proclaim'd the cock,
we heard anither craw man.
The brave Lochiel as I heard tell,
led Camerons on in clouds naan,
The morning fair did clear the air,
they loosed with devlish thuds man.
Down guns they threw and swords they drew,
an! soon did chace them aff man ;
On Seaton crafts they built tkeir drafts,
and gart them rin like daft man.
The bluff drsgoons swore blood and 'oons,
thej'd make the rebels run naan ;
And yet they flee when them they *ee,
and wiana/rte a gun man.
