WHAT MURRAIN NOW, &c.
Come home again, great James, great James,
Come home again, I pray :
Forgive me the crime ; ever after I'll be thine.
I call thee ; do not stay.

The revolution principles
Have set their heads in bees, then ;
They've fallen oat among themselves.
Shame fa' the first that grees them !
Did ye not swear, in Anna's reign,
And vow, too, and protest, sir,
If Hanover were once come o'er.
Then we should all be blest, sir ?
Since you got leave to rule the roast,
Impeachments throve a while, sir :
Our lords must steer to other coasts,
Our lairds may leave the isle, sir.
