NOTES AND QUERIES. [9*s.ix.MAY24,i902.

to regard it as definite and final, and he accepts as Lady Nairne's not only ' The Hundred Pipers/ 'He's owre the Hills,' and J The Women are a' gane wud,' but * Charlie is my Darling ' and ' Will ye no come back again T It is characteristic of the last-named lyric that it is throughout composed in the form of an appeal. The writer utilizes Hogg's opening, but changes "Royal" to "Bonnie," and gives u Will ye," not " Will you," in her chorus, the third line of which gets its classic form "Better lo'ed ye canna be." There is no hint of traitorous associates, and the unswerving loyalty of adherents is thus proclaimed :

We watched thee in the gloamin' hour, We watched thee in the mornin' grey ;

Tho' thirty thousand pounds they 'd gi e, Oh there was nane that wad betray.

The last stanza of Hogg's version is used, with some slight variations. t With regard to 'Charlie is my Darling' little needs to be said. Burns supplied John- son's ' Musical Museum ' with a song under this title, and this has therefore historic if but small poetical value. Hogg gives it as "original" in the ' Relics,' furnishing a "modern" reading of his own which is not very successful. Lady Nairne's lyric, with its bright movement and its steadily recur- ring "young Chevalier," appeared anony- mously in R. A. Smith's 'Scotish Minstrel,' 1821-4, and it straightway took its place as the outstanding song on the theme. It is this "form of the words" that everybody learns and that singers deliver on the concert platform. A fourth version by Capt. Charles Gray, given in G. Farquhar Graham's ' Songs of Scotland,' 1849, has been forgotten. THOMAS BAYNE.
