Trang 6 - ... out in the cliff by the edge of the stream, and much has been done to make Ness Glen one of the most beautiful of wild spots in the south of Scotland. In the opening poem of the little volume which he issued in 1826, Robert Hetrick, the blacksmithpoet of Dalmellington, thus describes the glen : '' Doon issuing from her slumbering bed of rest, Is downwards through the rocky tunnel prest, Then dash'd against yon shelvy, pointed rock, Which, unmolested, stands the furious shock, And turns the torrent...
Trang 127 - May also fade away ; Yet still the charm that ye possess'd, Which warmed my heart to thee, Will aye endear thee to my breast, And aye will bloom to me. SONG. Where Doon pours forth her liquid stores, And through the glens and caverns roars, Dashing on the hazley shores, And rocks sae steep and eerie O ; There, on the shelving river side, Fair Catherine dwells in virgin pride, Whose beauty charms the country side As roses deck the briery O. The blossoms spreading on the tree, Sae fair an...
Trang 113 - If friendship pervade us, though Frenchmen invade us, We will make them repent that they tried it ava ; With Macadam and Oswald, Fullarton and Boswell, We'll pound them to dust, their Convention, and a'.
Trang 112 - Your fop-doodle breeding and mountebank deeding, John Bull he abhors, your flagaries and a' : Yet if, through persuasion, you try the invasion, To please your great Consul, Convention, and a', Redd up your affairs for your wives and your heirs, For if ance you come owre you will near get awa'. And if to the north you would then sally forth, There the chiefs their brave clans to battle will draw ; For Scotchmen are ready to fight like their daddies, Repelling with fury Danes, Romans, and a...
Trang 111 - Our free constitution, since Will's revolution, Deserves our support, our attachment, and a' ; Whoe'er wont protect it, should not be respected, But hiss'd like a thief from our country awa'. But Monsieur take care, of old England beware, For her children are ready to rise at a ca...
Trang 112 - Pat, sir, what would ye he at, sir ? Nae mortal on earth understands you ava ; Though one party's loyal, the other stands trial, And hang'd are for traitors to country and law. But Paddy be wise, man, take Sawney's advice, man, Stand firm as a rock to your twin brothers twa ; Despise the intrusions of Gallic delusions, Be true to your Monarch and Erin-go-bragh. Ye sons of sweet Coila, your hearts they will boil a', To think of your freedom by France ta'en awa', Still may you inherit brave Wallace's...
Trang 98 - A tried and trusty frien' was he, A kind, indulgent husband too ; A better parent could not be, And in every point of view He was an honest man indeed, According to great nature's plan, For truth and honour formed the creed Of honest auld Glenconner gane. If ever honesty and truth In man were mix'd with mirth and glee With all the gaiety of youth He bore them in the first degree.
Trang 99 - ... should see, A guide to lead mankind aright In virtue, truth, and honesty. He did mean artifice despise That shackles up the narrow mind, But cherished all the social joys That dignify the human mind.
Trang 112 - Repelling with fury Danes, Romans, and a' ; They'll follow their leaders against the invaders, Nae dangers in war will make them turn awa' ; Ye proud Gallic legions, who visit these regions, Remember Sir Ralph and the auld Forty-twa. But you, neighbour Pat, sir, what would...
