LESLEY S MARCH TO LONGMASTON MOOR.
Fife-men and pipers braw,
Merry deils, tak them a',
Grown, lace, and livery — lickpot and ladle ;
Jockey shall wear the hood,
Jenny the sark of God —
For codpiece and petticoat, dishclout and daidle.
March ! — march ! — blest ragamuiBns !
Sing, as ye go, the hymns of rejoicing !
March ! — march ! — justified ruffians !
Chosen of Heaven ! to glory you're rising.
Ragged and treacherous,
Lousy and lecherous,
Objects of misery, scorning, and laughter;
Never, happy race !
Magnified so was grace ;
Host of the righteous ! rush to the slaughter !

March ! — march ! — why the devil don't you march 1
Stand to your arms, my lads ; fight in good order !
March ! — march ! — why the devil don't you march ?
Stand to your arms, my lads ; fight in good order !
Front about, front about, ye musketeers all,
Until ye come to the English Border :
Stand till't, and fight like men,
True gospel to maintain,
The parliament's blythe to see us a-coming.
When to the kirk we come.
He'll purge it ilka room,
Frae popish relics and a' innovation.
