Frae the friends and land I love,
Driv’n byFortune’s fellyspite;
Frae my best belov’d I rove,
Never mair to taste delight:
Never mair maunhope to find
Ease frae toil, relief fraecare;
When Remembrance wracks the mind,
Pleasures butunveil despair.
Brightest climes shall mirkappear,
Desert ilka blooming shore,
Till the Fates, naemairsevere,
Friendship, love, and peace restore,
TillRevenge, wi’laurel’d head,
Bring our banished hameagain;
And ilkloyal, bonielad
Cross the seas, and winhis ain.
