W:2.Tho' hurricanes rise, and raise ev'ry wind,
W:  They'll ne'er make a tempest like that in my mind;
W:  Tho' loudest of thunders on louder waves roar.
W:  That's naething like leaving my love on the shore,

W:  To leave thee behind me my heart is sair pain'd ;
W:  But by ease that's inglorious no fame can be gain'd;
W:  And beauty and love's the reward of the brave;
W:  And I maun deserve it before I can crave,
W:
W:3.Then glory, my Jeany, maun plead my excuse;
W:  Since honour commands me, how can I refuse?
W:  Without it, I ne'er can have merit for thee,
W:  And losing thy favour I'd better not be.
W:  I gae, then, my lass, to win glory and fame,
W:  And if I should chance to come gloriously hame,
W:  I'll bring a heart to thee with love running o'er,
W:  And then I'll leave thee and Lochaber no more.
