[Page torn]thsdale's Welcome to Terreagles -------
The noble Maxwells and their powers
Are coming o'er the Border;
And they'll gae big Terreagles' towers,
And set them a' in order;
And they declare, Terreagles fair,
For their abode they chuse it:
There's no a heart in a' the Land
But's lighter at the news o't. ----
2
Tho' moon & stars may disappear,
And angry tempests gather;
We wat na when the hour is near
That brings us pleasant weather:
The weary winter-night o' grief
May have a joyfu' morrow;
So dawning day has brought relief,
Fareweel our night o' sorrow.
