Tuiie, The Boat-man.
YE gales that gently wave the lea.
And pleafe the canny boat-man.
Bear me frae hence, or bring to me
My brave, my bonny Scot/man :
In haly bands
"We join'd our hands.
Yet may not this difcover.
While parents rate
A large eftate,
Before a faithfu' lover.
But ril loor chufe, in Highland glens.
To herd the kid and goat, man,
3E'er I would, for lie little ends,
Kefufe my bonny Scotfman.
Wae wortli the man
Wha firil began
The bale ungenerous fafhion.
Frag greedy views
Love's art to ufe,
While {(ranger to its paflion.
Frae foreign £elds, my lovely youth,
Hafte to thy longing laffie,
Wha pants to prefs thy bawmy mouth.
And in her bofom hawfe thee.
Love gi'es the word.
Then hafte on board,
Fair winds and tenty boat-man.
Waft o'er, waft o'er,
Frae yonder ftiore,
My brave, my bonny Scotfman.
