Your Gallic and your Highland cheer
will ne'er gae down wi' me, Donald.
Fai ye's pe get a ſiller proch,
pe pigger as the moon, Mattam ;
Ye's ride in curriock, ſtead of coach,
an' wow but ye'll pe fine. Mattam
Had awa', had awa',
had awa' frae me, Donald ;
For a' your Highland rarities,
you're not a match for me, Donald.
Is t'is ta way t'at ye'll pe guide
pra' pretty man like me, Mattam;
Sae lang's clay more hing py my ſide,
I'll nifer marry t'ee, Mattam.
O come awa', run awa',
O come awa' wi' me, Donald ;
I wadna quit my Highlandman
frae Lallands ſet me free, Donald.
BRITONS TO ARMS.
BRITONS to arms yourſelves prepare,
Honour and glory call to war,
Britons to arms yourſelves prepare, &c.
Renowned ſons of ancient fame,
Do not your noble courage ſtain,
Nor ſubmit tamely to proud Spain,
O rare Britain!
You who reign maſters of the ſeas,
Shake off inglorious ſloth and eaſe ;
