And roasted him baith head and feet,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
They ate him up baith stoop and roop,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie ;
And that's the gate they served the Duke,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
DOES HAUGHTY GAUL INVASION
THREAT ?
BURNS.

Tune— r/j(? Barrin o' the Door.
Does haughty Gaul invasion threat ?
Then let the loons beware, sir,
There's wooden walls upon our seas,
And volunteers on shore, sir.
The Nith shall run to Corsincon,*
And CrifFelf sink in Solway,
Ere we permit a foreign foe
On British ground to rally.
O let us not, like snarling curs,
In wrangling be divided,
Till slap come in an unco loon,
And wi' a rung decide it.
Be Britain still to Britain true,
Among ourselves united
For never but by British hands
Must British wrongs be righted.
