 THE BATTLE OF PRESTONPANS. The Chevalier being void of fear, did march up brislie brae man. And through Tranent e'er be did stent, as fast as he could gae man While General Cope did taunt and mock wi' mony a loud huzza, man , But e’er next morn proclaimed the cock, we heard anither craw, man.

The brave Lochiel as I heard tell, led Camerons on in clouds man, The morning fair did clear the air, they loot'd wi' devlish thuds man Down guns they threw and swrords they drew, and soon did chase them aff man; On Seaton crafts they built their chafts, and gart them rin like daft man.

The biuff dragoons swore blood and ’oons, they’d make the rebels run man. And yet they flee when them they sae, and winna fire a gun man.
