LOUIEN’s benny woods and braes,

Wha can thole when Britain’s fae*
To Brbon’a would give law, laffie.

Wha w«uld fnun the bed of honour t
Now when freedom bids avenge her,
Wba would (bun her ca’, Uffie.
Louden’s bonny woods and braes,
Hae feen our happy bridal days,
And gentle hopes fhall foothe thy woes,
When I am far awa’ laffie.
Hark 1 the fwclliog bugle Gogs,
It gi’fcs joy to thee laddie;
But the dolefu’ bugle brings
Waefu’ things to me laddie^ ^
Lanely I mar climb the mwontafn,
lonely ftray befide the fountain,
Still the dreary moments countin’,
Kir fra love and thee lad die.
Q’er the gory field of war.
Where vengeance drives her bloody car.
Thou’lt may be fa’ frae me a afar,
And nanc to clofe thy e’e, laddie.
0 refuwie they wonted (foils,
© fu^pref* thy fem toy fears, laffie.
