Then rve'll defend our liberty, our country, and our laws,
And teach our late posterity tojight in freedom's cause,
That they like our ancestors bold, for honour and ap-
plause.
May defy the Fre7ich and Spaniards to alter our laws

ROBERT BRUCe'S ADDRESS TO HIS ARMY.
[This beautiful ode was composed by Burns in the midst of a
storm, in the moor between Kenmore and Gatehouse, in Gallo=
way.]
ScoTSj wha hae wi' Wallace bled;
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
Welcome to your gory bed.
Or to glorious victorie.
Now's the day, and now's the hour ;
See the front o' battle lour ;
See approach proud Edward's power—*
Edward ! chains and slaverie !
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave ?
Wha sae base as be a slave ?
Traitor ! coward ! turn and flee !
Wha for Scotland's king and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw^
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Caledonian! onwi'me!
