 Earl Moira's Farewell.

LOUDONS bonnie woods and braes, I maun lea them a Laffie: Wha can thole when Britains faes, would gie Britons law, Laffie! Wha would fhun the fiel o danger, Wha frae Fame woud live a stranger ? Now when freedom bids aveng her, Wha would shun her ca, laffie ?

Loudons bonny woods and braes Hae feen our happy bridal days, And gentle hope fhall footh thy waes, When I am far awa, Laffie. Hark ! the fwelling bugle fings, yielding joy to thee Laddie! But the dolefu bugle brings Waefu thoughts to me Laddie!

Lanely I may climb the mountain, Lanely ftray befide the fountain. Still the weary moments Counting, Far frae love and thee Laddie: O‘er the gory field of way, Where vengance drives his crimfon car Thou'lt may-be fa frae me afar, And nane to clofe thy e'e Laddie.
