5 The people here ſo kind they were,
 * made me reſolve here to abide

For ever here I wiſh to live,
 * in Glaſgow on the Banks of Clyde.

But when I cam unto the croſs,
 * ſuch buildings I to you declare,

For beauty never yet was ſeen
 * in number all at once was there.

From eaſt to weſt I do proteſt,
 * from ſouth to north on every ſide

The ſtreets do lie with buildings high
 * in Glaſgow on the Banks of Clyde.

Likewiſe, which beautifies the town
 * the goal is like a palace fair

And juſt below a fine exchange,
 * where merchants they do all repair;

Where curiously, wel mounted high,
 * King William does on horſe-back ride,

All which does greatly beautify
 * this city on the banks of Clyde.

The muſic-bells delightfully,
 * repeat each quarter through the day,

When all's aſleep with music ſweet,
 * they chime the ſilent night away

Whole muſic-bells thro' woods and fells,
 * do echo out on every ſide,
