“ Such our love of liberty-our country and our laws,
That like our ancestors of old we stand by freedom's cause;
We'll bravely fight, like heroes bold, for honour and applause,
And defy the French, with all their art, to alter our laws.
No effeminate customs our sinews unbrace,
No luxuriate tables enervate our race,
Our loud-sounding pipe bears the true martial strain,
So do we the old Scottish valour retain. ”

“ Fare thee well! yet think a while
⁠On one whose bosom bleeds to doubt thee;
Who now would rather trust that smile,
⁠And die with thee, than live without thee!
Fare thee well! I'll think of thee—
⁠Thou leav'st me many a bitter token;
For see, distracting woman! see,
⁠My peace is gone, my heart is broken—
⁠⁠Fare thee well!

“ There's ne'er a nook in a’ the land
King William rules sae well,
There's naething half sae canty, grand,
As blythe Dumbarton's dell;
And would you spier the reason why,
The truth I'll fairly tell,
A winsome lassock lives hard by
Dumbarton's bonnie dell. ”
