HOMAGE TO CHARLIE.

Music by Lee.

Sound the horn,
Hailing the morn,
Bonnie lad march over muir and furrow
Through the glen,
Early we'll ken,
Who shall pay homage to Charlie to-morrow.

The colours are flying,
The foemen defying,
In triumph replying, that freedom is near,
The war-pipes are sounding,
Brave hearts are all bounding,
With valour surrounding the young Chavalier
Sound the horn, &c.

Though now we may sever,
It may be for ever,
From those we love, never be ours the sad tea.
No! boldly we'll sally,
From hill and from valley,
Round Charlie to rally, the young Chavalier.
Sound the horn, &e.

CEASE THUS TO PALPITATE

Sung by Madame Fasta. Music,—"Di tanti palpiti."

Cease thus to palpitate,
Cease, silly flutterer, pray;
Though on thy future fate
Love decides to-day,
Cease to alarm me,
Fond fears, away,
Duty must arm me
My sire to obey.

Though sighing and dying,
Pursuing and wooing,
Diseover to lovers
ch treasure and pleasure;
