W:2.I stood a while, and did admire.
W:    To see a nymph so stately;
W:  So brisk an air there did appear
W:    In a country maid so neatly:
W:  Such nat'ral sweetness she display'd,
W:    Like lilies in a bogie;
W:  Diana's self was ne'er array'd
W:    Like this same Kath'rine Ogie.
W:
W:3.Thou flow'r of females, beauty's queen,
W:    Who sees thee sure must prize thee;
W:  Though thou art drest in robes but mean,
W:    Yet these cannot disguise thee:
W:  Thy handsome air, and graceful look,
W:    Excels each clownish rogie;
W:  Thou'rt match for laird, or lord, or duke,
W:    My charming Kath'rine Ogie.

W:
W:4.O! were I but some shepherd swain,
W:    To feed my flock beside thee;
W:  At bughting-time to leave the plain,
W:    In milking to be abide thee.
W:  I'd think myself a happier man,
W:    Wi' Kate, my club, and dogie,
W:  Than he that hugs his thousands ten.
W:    Had I but Kath'rine Ogie.
W:
W:5.Then I'd despise th' imperial throne,
W:    And statesmen's dangerous stations,
W:  I'd be no king, I'd wear no crown,
W:    I'd smile at conquering nations,
W:  Might I caress, and still possess
W:    This lass of whom I'm vogie;
W:  For they are toys, and still look less,
W:    Compar'd with Kath'rine Ogie.
W:
W:6.I fear the gods have not decreed
W:    For me so fine a creature,
W:  Whose beauty rare makes her exceed
W:    All other works in nature.
%page 185
W:  Clouds of despair surround my love,
W:    That are both dark and foggie;
W:  Pity my case, ye Powers above!
W:    Else I die for Kath'rine Ogie.

T: HIGHLAND MARY.
T: to the same air
K:
W:1.Ye banks, and braes, and streams, around
W:    The Castle o' Montgomery,
W:  Green be your woods, and fair your flow'rs,
W:    Your waters never drumlie:
W:  There simmer first unfaulds her robes,
W:    And there they langest tarry;
W:  For there I took the last fareweel
W:    Of my dear Highland Mary,
W:
W:2.How sweetly bloom'd the gay green birk!
W:    How rich the hawthorn's blossom,
W:  As underneath their fragrant shade,
W:    I clasp'd her to my bosom!
%page 186
W:  The golden hours, on angel wings,
W:    Flew o'er me and my dearie;
W:  For dear to me, as light and life,
W:    Was my sweet Highland Mary.
W:
W:3.Wi' mony a vow, and lock'd embrace,
W:    Our parting was fu' tender;
W:  And pledging aft to meet again,
W:    We tore ourselves asunder.
W:  But oh! fell death's untimely frost,
W:    That nipt my flow'r so early;
W:  Now green's the sod, and cauld's the clay.
W:    That wraps my Highland Mary!
W:
W:4.O pale, pale now, those rosy lips,
W:    I aft hae kiss'd sae fondly!
W:  And clos'd for ay, the sparkling glance
W:    That dwelt on me sae kindly!
W:  And mould'ring now, in silent dust,
W:    That heart that lo'ed me dearly;
W:  But still within my bosom's core,
W:    Shall live my Highland Mary.
