ains, Never bound by Winter's chains; Glowing here on golden sands, There immix'd with foulest stains From Tyranny's empurpled hands; These, their richly gleaming waves, I leave to tyrants and their slaves; Give me the stream that sweetly laves The banks by Castle Gordon. Spicy forests, ever gray, Shading from the burning ray Hapless wretches sold to toil; Or the ruthless native's way, Bent on slaughter, blood, and spoil: Woods that ever verdant wave, I leave the tyrant and the slave; Give me the groves that lofty brave The storms by Castle Gordon. Wildly here, without control, Nature reigns and rules the whole; In that sober pensive mood, Dearest to the feeling soul, She plants the forest, pours the flood: Life's poor day I'll musing rave And find at night a sheltering cave, Where waters flow and wild woods wave, By bonie Castle Gordon. Song--Lady Onlie, Honest Lucky Tune--"The Ruffian's Rant." A' The lads o' Thorniebank, When they gae to the shore o' Bucky, They'll step in an' tak a pint Wi' Lady Onlie, honest Lucky. Chorus.--Lady Onlie, honest Lucky, Brews gude ale at shore o' Bucky; I wish her sale for her gude ale, The best on a' the shore o' Bucky. Her house sae bien, her curch sae clean I wat she is a daintie chuckie; And cheery blinks the ingle-gleed O' Lady Onlie, honest Lucky! Lady Onlie, &c. Theniel Menzies' Bonie Mary Air--"The Ruffian's Rant," or "Roy's Wife." In comin by the brig o' Dye, At Darlet we a blink did tarry; As day was dawnin in the sky, We drank a health to bonie Mary. Chorus.--Theniel Menzies' bonie Mary, Theniel Menzies' bonie Mary, Charlie Grigor tint his plaidie, Kissin' Theniel's bonie Mary. Her een sae bright, her brow sae white, Her haffet locks as brown's a berry; And aye they dimpl't wi' a smile, The rosy cheeks o' bonie Mary. Theniel Menzies' bonie Mary, &c. We lap a' danc'd the lee-lang day, Till piper lads were wae and weary; But Charlie gat the spring to pay For kissin Theniel's bonie Mary. Theniel Menzies' bonie Mary, &c. The Bonie Lass Of Albany^1 Tune--"Mary's Dream." My heart is wae, and unco wae,
