Fareweel to a our Scottish fame, Fareweel our ancient - TopicsExpress



          

Fareweel to a our Scottish fame, Fareweel our ancient glory; Fareweel evn to the Scottish name, Sae famd in martial story. Now Sark rins over Solway sands, An Tweed rins to the ocean, To mark where Englands province stands- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! What force or guile could not subdue, Thro many warlike ages, Is wrought now by a coward few, For hireling traitors wages. The English steel we could disdain, Secure in valours station; But English gold has been our bane - Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! O would, ere I had seen the day That Treason thus could sell us, My auld grey head had lien in clay, Wi Bruce and loyal Wallace! But pith and power, till my last hour, Ill mak this declaration; Were bought and sold for English gold- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation![2
