Youth, grace, and love, attendant move,
And pleasure leads the van
In a' their charms, and conquering arms,

Ye gallants braw, I rede ye a',
Beware o' bonnie Ann.*
JOCK 0' HAZELDEAN.
SIR WALTER SCOTT.
Tune—Jock o' Hazeldean.
" Why weep ye by the tide, ladye
"Why weep ye by the tide ?
I'll wed ye to my youngest son,
And ye shall be his bride ;
And ye shall be his bride, ladye,
Sae comely to be seen :"
But aye she loot the tears down fa',
For Jock o' Hazeldean.
a Now let this wilful grief be done,
And dry that cheek so pale
Young Frank is chief of Errington,
And lord of Langley dale ;
His step is first in peaceful ha'.
His sword in battle keen :"
But ay she loot the tears down fa',
For Jock o' Hazeldean.
