THE GRAHAM TARTAN TO A GRAHAM.

Use me in honour: cherish me

As ivy from a sacred tree.

Mine in the winds of war to close

Around the armour of Montrose,

And kiss the death-wound of Dundee.

Yet fear not me, nor such estate

Heroic and inviolate;

But green-and-white-and-azure wind

About thy body and thy mind,

And by that length enlarge thy fate!
