362 JACOBITE MINSTRELSY.
BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED.
What's the spring-breathing j ess'mine and rose ;
What's the summer with all its gay train ;
Or the plenty of autumn to those
Who've barter'd their freedom for gain ?
Let the love of our king's sacred right,
To the love of our country succeed ;
Let friendship and honour unite,
And flourish on both sides of the Tweed.
No sweetness the senses can cheer,
Which corruption and bribery blind ;
No brightness that gloom e'er can clear,
For honour's the sun of the mind.
Let the love, &c.
Let virtue distinguish the brave,
Place riches in lowest degree ;
Think bim poorest who can be a slave,
Him richest who dares to be free.
Let the love, &c.
Let us think how our ancestors rose,
Let us think how our ancestors fell,
The rights they defended, and those
They bought with their blood we'll ne'er sell.
Let the love of our king's sacred right,
To the love of our country succeed ;
Let friendship and honour unite
And flourish on both sides of the Tweed.
