He never {hall leave the fweet Banks of the Dee.
The Dee then fhall flow, all its beauties difplaying ;
The lambs on its banks fhall again be feen playing j
While I, with my Jamie, am carelefsly ftraying,.
And tailing again all the {weets of the Dee.
ADDITIONS BY A LADY.
Thus fung the fair maid on the banks of the river,
And fweetly re-chad each neighbouring tree j
But now all thefe hopes mufl evanifh for ever,
Since Jamie fhall ne'er fee the Banks of the Dee.
On a foreign (bore the fweet youth lay dying,
In a foreign grave his body's now lying ;
While friends and acquaintaince in Scotland are
crying
For Jamie the glory and pride of the Dee.
Mis-hap on the hand by whom he was wounded >
Mis-hap on the wars that call'd him away (ed,
From a circle of friends by which he was furround-
Who mourn for dear Jamie the tedious day.
Oh ! poor haplefs maid, who mourns difcontented,
The lofs of a lover fo juflly lamented ;
By time, only time, can her grief be contented,
And all her dull hours become chearful and gay.
Twas honour and brav'ry made him leave her:
mourning,
