See the northern clans advancing,
See Glengarry and Lochiel,
See the brandish'd broadswords glancing,
Highland hearts are true as steel.
Now our Prince has rais'd his banner,
Now triumphant is our cause,
Now the Scottish Lion rallies,
Let us strike for Prince and laws.
Then wha wadna fight, &c.




THE STANDARD ON THE BRAES.

The standard on the braes o’ Mar
Is up and streaming rarely,
The gathering pipe on Loch-na-gar
Is sounding lang and sairly;
The Highlandmen frae hill and glen,
In martial hue-in bonnets blue,
With belted plaids and burnish'd blades,
Are coming late and early.
The standard, &c.

Wha wadna join our noble chief-
The Drummond and Glengarry,
Macgregor, or Murray, Rolla, Keith,
Panmure and gallant Harry.
Macdonald's men, Clan-Ronald's men,
Mackenzies' men, Macgilvray's men,
Strathallan's men, the Lowland men
Of Callender and Airly.
The standard, &c.
