No more the main
I‘d tempt again,
But tender joys improve;
I then with thee
Should happy be,
And think on nought but love.


BRUCE'S ADDRESS.

Scots wha hae wi' Wallace Bled,
Scots wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory ded,
Or to glorious 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 wad fill a cowards grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Traitor, coward, turn and flee.
Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw;-
Freeman stand or freeman fa’,
Caledonians, on wi me.
