O the Broad Swords,&c.
Tho' ſome facts Nobles to ſerve their own end,
Did join with the English, themſelves to befriend,
And we lost they did loſe in the end,
O the Broad Swords, &c.
Remember brave Wallace who boldly did play,
Bruce at Bannockburn what a glorious day!
The flowers of old England our heroes did I fly
O the Broad Swords &c.
See Edward their King take his heels in a fight,
Nor e'er look'd behind but in Berwick alight,
In an old fishing boat he at Scotland good night.
O the broad Swords, &c.
Our Scottish ancestors were valiant and bold,
In learning ne'er beat nor in battle contrould,
But now—ſhall I name it!— Alas! we're all told,
O the Broad Swords of Old Scotland,
And O the Old Scottiſh Broad Swords.
