Waked still Loch Doine, and to the source

Alarm’d, Balvaig, thy swampy course;

Thence southward turn’d its rapid road

Adown Strath-Gartney’s valley broad,

Till rose in arms each man might claim

A portion in Clan-Alpine’s name,

From the gray sire, whose trembling hand

Could hardly buckle on his brand,

To the raw boy, whose shaft and bow

Were yet scarce terror to the crow.
