Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear! <br />Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, <br />Ye Jacobites by name, <br />Your fautes I will proclaim, <br />Your doctrines I maun blame - you shall hear, you shall hear! <br />Your doctrines I maun blame - you shall hear! <br /> <br />What is right, and what is wrong, by the law, by the law? <br />What is right, and what is wrong, by the law? <br />What is right, and what is wrong? <br />A short sword and a long, <br />A weak arm and a strong, for to draw, for to draw! <br />A weak arm and a strong, for to draw! <br /> <br />What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar? <br />What makes heroic strife famed afar? <br />What makes heroic strife? <br />To whet th' assassin's knife, <br />Or hunt a Parent's life, wi bluidy war, wi bluidy war! <br />Or hunt a Parent's life, wi bluidy war! <br /> <br />Then let your schemes alone, in the State, in the State! <br />Then let your schemes alone, in the State! <br />Then let your schemes alone, <br />Adore the rising sun, <br />And leave a man alone, to his fate, to his fate! <br />And leave a man alone, to his fate!<br /><br />Robert Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ye-jacobites-by-name/
