 Not Iles of Pearl, not rich Pacifick Seas,

Not the more Fruitful Caribbees,

Not Africks Wealth or Chilean Stores,

The Silver Mountains, or the Golden Shores,

Could uch an Unexhauted Treaure boat,

A Treaure how upinely lot!

What Pains has Scotland taken to be Poor,

That has the Indies at her Door;

That lets her Couret Fate of Choice remain,

And ees her Maker Bountiful in Vain.

When Caledonians, when will you be wie,

And earch for certain Wealth in Native Seas?

A Wealth by Heav'n deign'd for none but You,

A Wealth that does your very Hands purue,
