Lochaber^
^Arewell to Lochaber^ and farewell my Jem^
Where heartrome with thee I've mony Day

Thefe Tears that I Ihed, they are a' for my Dear,
And no for the Dangers attendins; on weir ;
Tho' bore on rough Seas to a far bloody Shore,
May be to return to Lochaber no more.
Tho' Hurricanes rife^: and rife ev'ry Wind,
They'll ne'er make a Tempeil like that in my Mind.
Tho' loudeft of Thunder on louder Waves roar,
That's naithing like leaving my Love on the Shore,
To leave thee behind me, my Heart is fair pain'd,
By Eafe that's inglorious, no Fame can be gain'd :
And Beauty and Love's the Reward of the Brave,
And I mud deferve it before I can crave.
Then glory, my Jeany^ maun plead my Excufe,
Sigce Honour cgjaimands me, how c^n I refufe?
