THE ADVENTURES OF SAWNEY And DONNEL at WATERLOO. AIR-Tburrots Defeat.

When crafty wee Bona brak out o’ his pritfcn, The warld was wonderin’ after his tail; Wi’ twa-three auld worthies he thought invafion. Then aff neck or naething, the boddie fet fail; His gawd ammunition defy’d oppofition, Wi' places an’ peufions he fcatter’d the fhore; While mony a hunner cam' runnin’ for honour, And ca’d him a name he was proud o’ before.

Then aff in proceffion for Paris they ventur’d, While Bona courageoully led up the van; But Louis gat word ere the plunderer enter’d, And made up his puck, and awa’ wi’t he ran. Then wha was fae hearty as wee Bonaparte, To fee his auld frien’s an acquaintance again? But liars and robbers are aye kittle neighbours. An’ he maun be mafter o’ mair than his ain.

Qaoth Sawney to Donnol, theboddy’s no canny, It makes na tho’ we thou’d gae owre twa three days ; Tak’ ye a wheen Highlanders, hardy an’ han’y, An’ I'LL be at han’ wi the Royal Scotch Greys.
