 6 Ye monarchs, tak the east and west': frae Indies to Savannah; Gie me within my straining grasp the melting form of Anna. Then I'll despise imperial charms, an empress or sultana, While dying raptures in her arms, I give and take wi' Anna. Awa' thou flaunting god of day! awa' thou pale Diana ! Ilk starn gae hide thy twinking ray, wlien I'm to meet my Anna. Cone in thy raven plumage, night, sun, moon and stars, withdraw a'! And bring an Angels pen to writ my transports wi' my Anna. The kirk and state may join aud tell to do such things I mauuna; The kirk and state may say so still, and I'll gae to my Anna. She is the sunshine o' my ee' to live with her I eanna; Had I on carth but wishes three, the first would be my Anna.

The true lovers Farewell. TUNE--Bonnie blackeye'd lassie O. Oh, Helen tbou'rt any darling, Tho golden image of my heartr;
