495
Youth, grace, and love, attendant move,
And pleasure leads the van ;
In a' their charms, and conquering arms,
They wait on bonnie Ann.
The captive bands may chain the hands,
But love enslaves the man ;
Ye gallants braw, I rede ye a',
Beware o' bonnie Ann.*
JOCK 0' HAZELDEAN.
SIR WALTER SCOTT.
Tune — Jock o' Hazeldean.
" Why weep ye by the tide, ladye —
"Why weep ye by the tide ?
I'll wed ye to my youngest son,
And ye shall be his bride ;
And ye shall be his bride, ladye,
Sae comely to be seen :"
But aye she loot the tears down fa',
For Jock o' Hazeldean.
a Now let this wilful grief be done,
And dry that cheek so pale :
Young Frank is chief of Errington,
And lord of Langley dale ;
His step is first in peaceful ha'.
His sword in battle keen :"
But ay she loot the tears down fa',
For Jock o' Hazeldean.
* Written in compliment to Miss Ann Masterton, daughter of the author's
friend, Allan Masterton, the " Allan" of •• Willy brewed a peck o' Maut."
Miss Masteiton afterwards became the wife of John Derbyshire, Esq. sur-
geon in London.
