BRUCE’S ADDRESS.

Scots wha hae wi’ Wallace bled,
Scots whom Bruce has often led,
Welcomed to your gory bed,
⁠Or to Victory!
Now’s the day and now’s the hour,
See the front of battle lour,
See approach proud Edward’s power;
⁠Edward! chains and slavery.

Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha will fill a coward’s grave?
Wha’s sae base as be a slave?
⁠Let him turn and flee.
Wha for Scotland’s king and law
Freedom’s sword will strongly draw?
Freemen stand, or freemen fa’,
⁠Caledonians, on wi’ me.

By oppression, woes, and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
⁠But we shall be free,

Lay the proud usurper low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty’s in every blow!
⁠Forward! let us do or die!
