From scenes like these old Scotia's grandeur springs, That makes her loved at home, revered abroad: Princes and lords are but the breath of kings, "An honest man 's the noblest work of God."
Here's to us, who's like us Damn few, and they're all dead.
Even every ray of hope destroyed and not a wish to gild the gloom.
Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.
The best laid plans take 40 years to complete.
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
