Re-opes its sparkling eye.

Thy banks' purest stream shall be dear to me ever.

From Stirling Castle we had seen
The mazy Forth unravelled;
Had trod the banks of Clyde and Tay,
And with the Tweed had travelled;
And when we came to Clovenford,
Then said "my winsome marrow,"
"Whate'er betide, we'll turn aside,
And see the braes of Yarrow."

Where stray ye, Muses! in what lawn or grove,

In those fair fields where sacred Isis glides,
Or else where Cam his winding vales divides?
