We give here the original song, with the Gaelic version of Captain M’Intyre:—
IN THE GARB OF OLD GAUL.
In the garb of old Gaul, with the fire of old Rome,
From the heath-covered mountains of Scotia we come;
Where the Romans endeavoured our country to gain,
But our ancestors fought, and they fought not in vain.
Such our love of liberty, our country, and our laws,
That, like our ancestors of old, we stand by freedom’s cause;
We’ll bravely fight, like heroes bright, for honour and applause,
And defy the French, with all their arts, to alter our laws.
