As virgin voice can sound tliem, X
Sing of your brave, your noble Scots,
For glory kindles round them .
Small is the remnant you will see, *
Lamented be the others! »

Whatstormean rendyour mountain rock,
What wave your headlands shiver !
Long have they stood the tempest's shock,
Thou know'st they will for ever.
Sooner your eye these cliffs shall view,
Split by the wind and weather,
Than foeman's eye the bonnet blue,
Behind the nodding feather.
Cho^O raise the pibroch, Donald Bane,
Our caps to the sky we'll send them^
Scotland, thy honour who can stain,
Thy laurels who can rend them .
