W:2.I stood a while, and did admire.
W: To see a nymph so stately;
W: So brisk an air there did appear
W: In a country maid so neatly:
W: Such nat'ral sweetness she display'd,
W: Like lilies in a bogie;
W: Diana's self was ne'er array'd
W: Like this same Kath'rine Ogie.
W:
W:3.Thou flow'r of females, beauty's queen,
W: Who sees thee sure must prize thee;
W: Though thou art drest in robes but mean,
W: Yet these cannot disguise thee:
W: Thy handsome air, and graceful look,
W: Excels each clownish rogie;
W: Thou'rt match for laird, or lord, or duke,
W: My charming Kath'rine Ogie.

W:
W:4.O! were I but some shepherd swain,
W: To feed my flock beside thee;
W: At bughting-time to leave the plain,
W: In milking to be abide thee.
W: I'd think myself a happier man,
W: Wi' Kate, my club, and dogie,
W: Than he that hugs his thousands ten.
W: Had I but Kath'rine Ogie.
W:
W:5.Then I'd despise th' imperial throne,
W: And statesmen's dangerous stations,
W: I'd be no king, I'd wear no crown,
W: I'd smile at conquering nations,
W: Might I caress, and still possess
W: This lass of whom I'm vogie;
W: For they are toys, and still look less,
W: Compar'd with Kath'rine Ogie.
W:
W:6.I fear the gods have not decreed
W: For me so fine a creature,
W: Whose beauty rare makes her exceed
W: All other works in nature.

W: Clouds of despair surround my love,
W: That are both dark and foggie;
W: Pity my case, ye Powers above!
W: Else I die for Kath'rine Ogie.

T: HIGHLAND MARY.
T: to the same air
K:
W:1.Ye banks, and braes, and streams, around
W: The Castle o' Montgomery,
W: Green be your woods, and fair your flow'rs,
W: Your waters never drumlie:
W: There simmer first unfaulds her robes,
W: And there they langest tarry;
W: For there I took the last fareweel
W: Of my dear Highland Mary,
W:
W:2.How sweetly bloom'd the gay green birk!
W: How rich the hawthorn's blossom,
W: As underneath their fragrant shade,
W: I clasp'd her to my bosom!
%page 186
W: The golden hours, on angel wings,
W: Flew o'er me and my dearie;
W: For dear to me, as light and life,
W: Was my sweet Highland Mary.
W:
W:3.Wi' mony a vow, and lock'd embrace,
W: Our parting was fu' tender;
W: And pledging aft to meet again,
W: We tore ourselves asunder.
W: But oh! fell death's untimely frost,
W: That nipt my flow'r so early;
W: Now green's the sod, and cauld's the clay.
W: That wraps my Highland Mary!
W:
W:4.O pale, pale now, those rosy lips,
W: I aft hae kiss'd sae fondly!
W: And clos'd for ay, the sparkling glance
W: That dwelt on me sae kindly!
W: And mould'ring now, in silent dust,
W: That heart that lo'ed me dearly;
W: But still within my bosom's core,
W: Shall live my Highland Mary.
