FRASER'S DRINKING SONG.
1
All ready?
Let us drink to the woman who rules us to-night—
To her lands; to her laws; 'neath her flag we will smite
Ev'ry foe,
Hip and thigh,
Eye for eye,
Blow for blow—
Are you ready?
2
All ready?
Then here's to the mothers who bore us, my men;
To the shieling that sleeps in the breast of the glen
Where the stag
Drinks it fill
From the rill
By the crag—
Are you ready?
3
All ready?
Fill your glass to the maid you adore, my boys;
Wish her health, wish her wealth, long life, and all joys;
Full measure
(May it swim
To the brim)
Of pleasure—
Are you ready?
4
All ready?
And here's to the country we live in, my lads;
It is here we have struggled and thriven, my lads?
God bless it,
May Beauty
And Duty
Possess it—
Are you ready?
5
All ready?
A Fraser! A Fraser forever, my friends;
While he lives how he hates, how he loves till life ends;
He is first,
Here's my hand,
Into grand
Hurrah burst—
Are you ready?
