For sooth, ere he decease,
Shall many thousands in the field make end.

And Scotland thrice he shall bring to peace.

If there's a sword-like sang
That can cut Scotland clear
O a' the warld beside
Rax me the hilt o't here.

For there's nae jewal till
Frae the rest o earth it's free,
Wi the starry separateness
I'd fain to Scotland gie.
