“ The weakness of woman enliven'd his glee,
So kind and gallant was the bloody Dundee!
When James, as a Papist, forfaulted the throne,
His subjects rejoiced that the Darkness had flown;
The gleam of the Orange illumined the sea
And brought freedom in spite of the bloody Dundee.
But Claver'se has summoned the clans from the hills,
That the Lowlands may swallow "black Prelacy's pills;
For claymores can teach, and the axe make you see,
That justice and truth ride with bloody Dundee! ”

“ In our toun, in our toun,
There's nae a man in our toun
Wha lo'es the barleybree!"

“ THE BLUE PEAT-REEK.
Tune—"Afton Water."
Again on the mountains, tho' speckled wi' snaw,
Mid the whir o' the pertrick an' ptarmigan's craw;
The mists o' the morning alang their sides streik,
An' mingle their locks wi' the blue Peat-reek.
The wind-flower is blushin', the primrose blinks forth,
As envious Winter maun creep farther north;
The rain frae the hills gies the burn a bit eik,
An it soughs o' the days o' the auld Peat-reek.
When life was a budlet, an' a'thing was new,
An' daily our Glen brought its wonders to view ”
