Such spoils her desperate step had sought,

Where scarce was footing for the goat.

The tartan plaid she first descried,

And shriek’d till all the rocks replied;

As loud she laugh’d when near they drew,

For then the Lowland garb she knew;

And then her hands she wildly wrung,

And then she wept, and then she sung—

She sung!—the voice, in better time,

Perchance to harp or lute might chime;
