7 Here's pleaſure too, a river thro'
 * this city runs, although but ſmall,

Where orderly twelve bridges high,
 * and rhoſe in half a mile ſtand all:

Altough each one with a curious ſtone,
 * are built with arches high and wide

Six miles alſo this ſtream does go
 * for Glaſgow on the Banks of Clyde.

Likewiſe by right, for more delight,
 * they have a larye and ſpacious green

Adorn'd with planning all around,
 * divided by a pleaſent dream :

Into the green there's to be ſeen,
 * a building fair both large and wide

For waſhing clear though a the year
 * for Glaſgow on the Banks of Clyde.

Below this town two bridges ſtand
 * thro' which the water clear doth fa'

From whence you have the pleaſent view
 * of the harbour at the Broomielaw.

Where ſailors they both night and day,
 * come ſailing up with every tide

Their landing be upon the quay,
 * at Glaſgow on the Banks of Clyde.

One thing abounds in this beautiful town
 * remains untold the which I will,
