J*J we'll may be return to Lochaber no more. Thefe tears thai: I -fhed,they are

Tho' hurricanes rife, and rife evry wind,
They'll ne'er make a tempeft like that in my mind,
Tho' loudeft of thunderon louder waves roar,
That's naithing like leaving my love on the fhorc.
To leave thee Dehind me, my heart is fair pain'd;
By eafe that's inglorious, no fame can be gain'd :
And beauty and love's the reward of the brave,
And I muft deferve it before lean crave.
Then glory, my Jeany, maun plead my excufe,
Since Honour commands me, how can T refufei
Without it I ne'er can have merit for thee;
And without thy favour, Id better not bei
I gae then,my lafs, to win honour and fame,
And if I fhould luck to come glorioufly hame,
A heart I will bring thee with love running o'er,
And then I'll leave thee and Lochaber no more.

| Description | By James Johnson. 6 volumes. Edinburgh : Printed & sold by Johnson & Co., 1787-1803. Burns contributed largely to the work, and Stephen Clarke prepared the arrangements of most of the airs. ["The volumes of the Musical museum, as originally published, were 'Humbly dedicated to the Catch Club, instituted at Edinburgh June 1771.' On the completion of the sixth and last volume, in 1803, Johnson substituted a new set of title-pages, dedicating the work 'To the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.'"--Laing's pref., to 1839 ed., v. 1, p. ii, foot-note]. |
