And Tweed’s fair river, broad and deep,

And Cheviot’s mountains lone;

The battled towers, the Donjon keep,

The loophole grates where captives weep,

The flanking walls that round it sweep,

Built of the thickest stone:—

Of stalworth knight and champion grim

With square-turn’d joints and strength of limb;

Of Haco’s floating banner trim;

Of Wallace wight, and Martin Swart,
