Lord send that they may be their careful guide!
THE BONNY SCOTCH LAD, AND HIS BONNET SO BLUE.
AT Kingston upon Hull, a town in Yorkshire,[140]
I lived in splendour, and free from love's care;
I roll'd in riches and had sweethearts not a few,
I'm wounded by a bonny lad, and his bonnet so blue.
There came a troop of soldiers, and soon you shall hear,
From Scotland to Woolwich, abroad for to steer;
There is one among them I wish I'd ne'er knew,
