IV.
How often didst thou pledge and vow
Thou wad for ay be mine;
And my fond heart, itsel’ sae true,
It ne’er mistrusted thine.
V.
Hard is thy heart, Lord Gregory,
And flinty is thy breast—
Thou dart of heaven that flashest by,
O wilt thou give me rest!
VI.
Ye mustering thunders from above,
Your willing victim see!
But spare and pardon my fause love,
His wrangs to heaven and me!
CLXXXVIII.
