Will approve themſelves always the firſt in the field.
‘And as we’re, &c.
Our leaders the flower and the pride of the North,
Our honoured cheftains now ſummon us forth,
And when ſuch a King and ſuch Officers call,
The ſummons muſt ſurely be pleaſing to all.
‘And as we‘re, &c
Come then let us quick to the ſtandard repair,
And ſhare in the toils and the glories of war:
And when under great Fraser‘s command we appeal
The proud rebels will ſoon change their boaſting to fear.
‘And as we‘re, &c
To our noble General a bumper let’s fill,
To Macpherson, Macleod, Macintosh, and Lochirl,
And every brave Hero who croſſes the main
To conquer America over again.
‘And as we‘re ſprung, &c.

Why, lovely charmer, tell me why,
So very kind and yet ſo ſhy;
Why does that cold forbidding air,
Give damp of ſorrow and deſpair,
Or why that ſmile my ſoul ſubdue,
And kindle up my flame in you.
In vain you ſtrive, with all your art,
By turns to freeze and fire my heart;
When I behold a face ſo fair,
So ſweet a look, ſo ſoft an air,
My raviſh‘d ſoul is charm’d all o‘er
I cannot love the leſs nor more.
