M9 Pherfon's Farewell
what is death but parting breath? I've liv'd a life of fturt and f'trife;
On many a bloody plain I die; by treacherie:
I've dard hisrface, and in this place It burns my heart I mult depart
I fcorn him yet again! And not avenged be.
Sae rantingly, &c. * Sae rantingly, &c .
Untie thefe bands from off my hands, Now farewell,light, thou funfhine brigjj
And bring to me my fword; And all beneath the fkyj
And there's no "a man in all Scotland, May coward fhame diftain his name,
But I'll brave him at a word. The wretch that dares not die!
Sae rantingly, &c. / Sae rantingly, &c.

| 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]. |
