Come o'er tlie stream, Charlie, dear Charlie, brave Charlie, Come o'er the stream, Charlie^ and dine wi' M'Lean ; And, though you be weary, we'll make your heart cheery, And welcome our Charlie and his loyal train. We'll bring down the track-deer, we'll bring down the black steer, The lamb from the bucht and the doe from the glen ; The salt sea we'll harry, and bring to our Charlie, The cream from the bothy, and curd from the pen. And you shall drink freely the dews of Glen-sheerly, That stream in the star-light when kings dinna ken ; And deep shall your meed be of wine that is ruddy, To drink to your sire, and his friend the M'Lean, If aught will invite you, or more will delight you, 'Tis ready—a troop of our bold Highlandmen Shall range o'er the heather, with bonnet and feather, Strong arms and broad claymores, three hundred and ten. * Altered by a modern hand, from a well-known song by Burns. 2 T
