Popular William Edmondstoune Aytoun Quotes

Nowhere beats the heart so kindly as beneath the tartan plaid!

Fhairshon swore a feud Against the clan M,Tavish; Marched into their land To murder and to rafish; For he did resolve To extirpate the vipers, With four-and-twenty men And five-and-thirty pipers.

They bore within their breasts the grief That fame can never heal That deep, unutterable woe Which none save exiles feel.

Fhairshon had a son, Who married Noahs daughter, And nearly spoiled to Flood, By trinking up ta water: Which he would have done, I at least believe it, Had the mixture peen Only half Glenlivet.

Do not lift him from the bracken, Leave him lying where he fell Better bier ye cannot fashion: None beseems him half so well As the bare and broken heather, And the hard and trampled sod, Whence his angry soul ascended To the judgment seat of God!
