Tho' ſome facts Nobles to ſerve their own end,

Did join with the English, themſelves to befriend,

And we lost they did loſe in the end,

O the Broad Swords, &c.

Remember brave who boldly did play,

at Bannockburn what a glorious day!

The flowers of old England our heroes did I fly

O the Broad Swords &c.

See Edward their King take his heels in a fight,

Nor e'er look'd behind but in Berwick alight,

In an old fishing boat he at Scotland good night.

O the broad Swords, &c.

Our Scottish ancestors were valiant and bold,

In learning ne'er beat nor in battle contrould,

But now—ſhall I name it!— Alas! we're all told,

O the Broad Swords of Old Scotland,

And O the Old Scottiſh Broad Swords.
