“ In a neat little cottage by a shady green tree.
No longer they wander in desarts alone,
In content they do live in their cottage at home,
The lark, thrush, and linnet round their cottage do sing,
And both live as happy as a prince or a king. ”

“ Ye meadows green and fairy queen,
⁠And sailors on the sea,
Loud blaw the fame o’ him that’s gane,
⁠Reside the lads in urns,
Brave Scotia’s boys will still rejoice
⁠To hear the name o’ Burns.
Frae morn till night my head grows light
⁠To hear the lasses sing,
His bonnie sang that nane can bang.
⁠It gars my lugs a’ ring;
Its bonnie air can banish care
⁠By ingle side at e’en;
Now cauld’s the heart that ance did smart
⁠Frae twa bewitching een.
