The mind whose every wish is pure,
Is dearer far than gold to me;
And ere I'm forc'd to break my faith,
I 11 lay me down and die:
For I hae pledg'd my virgin troth,
My ain brave Donalds fate to share;
And he has gi'en to me his heart,
Wi' a' its virtues rare.

His gentle manners won my heart,
He, grateful, took the willing gift;
I wou'd na seek my pledf.'p a^ain,
For a 1 heneath the lift .
For langest life can neVr repay,
The well tried love he bears to me;
And ere I'm forc'd to break my troth,
111 lay me down and die.
