Threatened Folk Live Long.

The Heart-sick Faintness Of The Hope Delayed!

Whose Lenient Sorrows Find Relief, Whose Joys Are Chastened By Their Grief.

The Chain Of Friendship, However Bright, Does Not Stand The Attrition Of Constant Close Contact.

Still From The Sire The Son Shall Hear Of The Stern Strife, And Carnage Drear, Of Flodden's Fatal Field, When Shiver'd Was Fair Scotland's Spear, And Broken Was Her Shield!

But Woe Awaits A Country When She Sees The Tears Of Bearded Men.
