A FAMOUS MAN IS ROBIN HOOD.

A famous man is Robin Hood,
The English ballad-singers’ joy;
Bnt Scotland has a thief as good,
She has her bold Rob Roy!
A dauntless heart M'Gregor shows
And wond'rous length and strength of arn.
He long was quell'd his highland foes,
And kept his friends from harm.
A famous man, (illegible text)

His darling mood protects him still,
For ’tis the robber’s simple plan;
That they should take—who have the will,
And they should keep—who on
And while Rob Roy free to rove,
In summer's heat, and winter's snow,
The eagle he is lord above,
And Rob is lord below.
A famous man, (illegible text)
