The loyal Steivarts, with Montrose,
So boldly set upon their foes,
And brought them down with Highland blows,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
Of twenty thousand Cromwell's men,
Five hundred went to Aberdeen,
The rest of them lies on the plain,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
SONG VI.
THE RESTORATION.
To curb usurpation, by th' assistance of France,
With love to his country, see Charlie advance !
He's welcome to grace and distinguish this day,
The sun brighter shines, and all nature looks gay.
Your glasses charge high, 'tis in great Charles' praise,
In praise, in praise, 'tis in great Charles' praise j
To's success your voices and instruments raise,
To his success your voices and instruments raise.
Approach, glorious Charles, to this desolate land,
And drive out thy foes with thy mighty hand ;
The nations shall rise, and join as one man,
To crown the brave Charles, the Chief of the Clan.
Your glasses, &c.
In his train see sweet Peace, fairest queen of the sky,
Ev'ry bliss in her look, ev'ry charm in her eye,
Whilst oppression, corruption, vile slav'ry, and fear,
At his wish'd-for return never more shall appear.
Your glasses, &c.
Whilst'in pleasure's soft arms millions now court repose,
Our hero flies forth, though surrounded with foes;
To free us from tyrants ev'ry danger defies,
And in liberty's cause, he conquers or dies !
Your glasses, &c.
