# The Book of Scottish Song/Not the swan on the lake

Not the swan on the lake.
[This is a translation from a Gaelic song by the author, Ewen Maclachlan, A.M., Aberdeen, and is here printed for the first time.]
Not the swan on the lake, or the foam on the shore, Can compare with the charms of the maid I adore: Not so white is the new milk that flows o'er the pail, Or the snow that is shower'd from the boughs of the vale.
As the cloud's yellow wreath on the mountain's high brow, The locks of my fair one redundantly flow; Her cheeks have the tint that the roses display, When they glitter with dews on the morning of May.
As the planet of Venus that gleams o'er the grove, Her blue-rolling eye are the symbols of love: Her pearl-circled bosom diffuses bright rays, Like the moon, when the stars are bedimm'd with her blaze.
The mavis and lark, when they welcome the dawn, Make a chorus of joy to resound through the lawn: But the mavis is tuneless; the lark strives in vain, When my beautiful charmer renews her sweet strain.
When summer bespangles the landscape wi' flow'rs, While the thrush and the cuckoo sing soft from the bow'rs,
Through the wood-shaded windings with Bella I'll rove, And feast unrestrain'd on the smiles of my love.
# The Book of Scottish Song/Native Caledonia

Native Caledonia.
[This popular strain was written by William Lockhart.—Tune, "The Dusky Glen."]
Sair, sair was my heart, when I parted frae my Jean, An' sair, sair I sigh'd while the tear stood in my een, For my daddie is but poor, and my fortune is sae sma', It gars me leave my native Caledonia. When I think on the days now gane, an' sae happy's I ha'e been, While wand'ring wi' my dear, where the primrose blaws unseen, I'm wae to leave my lassie, and my daddie's simple ha', Or the hills an' healthfu' breeze o' Caledonia.
But wherever I wander, still happy be my Jean, Nae care disturb her bosom, where peace has ever been; Then tho' ills on ills befa' me, for her I'll bear them a', Though aft I'll heave a sigh for Caledonia. But should riches e'er be mine, and my Jeanie still prove true, Then blaw ye fav'ring breezes, till my native land I view; Then I'll kneel on Scotia's shore, while the heartfelt tear shall fa', And never leave my Jean, nor Caledonia.
# The Book of Scottish Song/Norland Jockey

Norland Jockey.
[From Herd's Collection.]
A Southland Jenny, that was right bonnie, Had for a suitor a Norland Johnnie; But he was sicken a bashful wooer, That he could scarcely speak unto her; Till blinks o' her beauty, and hopes o' her siller, Forced him at last to tell his mind till her, My dear, quoth he, we'll nae langer tarry, Gin ye can loo me, let's o'er the muir and marry.
She.
Come, come awa' then, my Norland laddie, Though we gang neatly, some are mair gawdy; And albeit I have neither gowd nor money, Come, and I'll ware my beauty on thee.
He.
Ye lasses o' the south, ye're a' for dressing; Lasses o' the north mind milking and threshing; My minny wad be angry, and sae wad my daddy, Should I marry ane as dink as a lady; For I maun ha'e a wife that will rise i" the morning, Crudle a' the milk, and keep the house a' scolding, Toolie wi' her nei'bours, and learn at my minny, A Norland Jocky maun ha'e a Norland Jenny.
She.
My father's only daughter, and twenty thousand pound, Shall never be bestow'd on sic a silly clown: For a' that I said was to try what was in ye; Ga'e hame, ye Norland Jock, and court your Norland Jenny.
# The Book of Scottish Song/Nora's Vow

Nora's Vow.
[Written by Sir Walter Scott, for Campbell's Albyn's Antliology, to a Gaelic air, called, "Cha teid mis a chaoidh," (I will never go with him.) "In the original Gaelic," says the author, "the Lady makes protestations that she will not go with the Red Earl's son, until the swan should build in the cliff, and the eagle in the lake—until one mountain should change places with another, and so forth. It is but fair to add," continues Sir Walter, slyly, "that there is no authority for supposing that she altered her mind—except the vehemence of her protestations."]
Hear what Highland Nora said: The Earlie's son I will not wed, Should all the race of nature die, And none be left but he and I. For all the gold, and all the gear, And all the lands, both far and near, That ever valour lost or won, I will not wed the Earlie's son.
A maiden's vows, old Callum spoke, Are lightly made and lightly broke. The heather on the mountain's height Begins to bloom in purple light; The frost wind soon shall sweep away That lustre drop from glen and brae; Yet Nora, ere its bloom be gone, May blithely wed the Earlie's son.
The swan, she said, the lake's clear breast May barter for the eagle's nest; The Awe's fierce stream may backward turn, Ben Cruachan fall and crush Kilchuru; Our kilted clans, when blood is high, Before their foes may turn and fly: But I, were all these marvels done, Would never wed the Earlie's son.
Still in the water-lily's shade Her wonted nest the wild swan made; Ben Cruachan stands as fast as ever; Still downward foams the Awe's fierce river; To shun the flash of foemen's steel No highland brogue has turn'd the heel: But Nora's heart is lost and won— She's wedded to the Earlie's son.
# The Book of Scottish Song/Now Jenny, lass

Now Jenny, lass.
[The author of this song is a Mr. Somerville. It was jocosely known among his friends as the "Somerville Testament."—Tune, "Garyowen."]
Now, Jenny lass, my bonnie bird, My daddy's dead, an' a' that; He's snugly laid aneath the yird, And I'm his heir, an' a' that. I'm now a laird, an' a' that; I'm now a laird, an' a' that; His gear an' land's at my command, And muckle mair than a' that.
He left me wi' his deein' breath A dwallin' house, an' a' that; A barn, a byre, an' wabs o' claith— A big peat-stack, an' a' that. A mare, a foal, an' a' that, A mare, a foal, an' a' that, Sax guid fat kye, a cauf forby, An' twa pet ewes, an' a' that.
A yard, a meadow, lang braid leas, An' stacks o' corn an' a' that— Enclosed weel wi' thorns an* trees; An' carts, an' cars, an' a' that. A pleugh, an' graith, an' a' that, A pleugh, an' graith, an' a' that; Guid harrows twa, cock, hens, an' a'— A gricie too, an' a' that.
I've heaps o' claes for ilka days, For Sundays too, an' a' that; I've bills an' bonds, on lairds an' lands, An' siller, gowd, an' a' that. What think ye, lass, o' a' that? What think ye, lass, o' a' that? What want I noo, my dainty doo, But just a wife to a' that.
Now, Jenny dear, my errand here, Is to seek ye to a' that; My heart's a' loupin' while I speer Gin ye'll tak' me, wi' a' that. Mysel', my gear, an' a' that, Mysel', my gear, an' a' that; Come, gi'e's your loof to be a proof, Ye'll be a wife to a' that.
Syne Jenny laid her neive in his, Said, she'd tak' him wi' a' that; An' he gied her a hearty kiss, An' dauted her, an' a' that. They set a day, an' a' that, They set a day, an' a' that; Whan she'd gang hame to be his dame, An' haud a rant, an' a' that.
# The Book of Scottish Song/Now spring again

Now spring again.
[This and the following song are from a small volume entitled, "A Pilgrimage to Craigmillar Castle, and other Poems, by James Fraser, Edinburgh, 1817." Mr. Fraser is author of "The Soldier's Grave," given at page 16 of the present collection.]
Now spring again, wi' liesome tread, 'Mang Bernard's bow'rs is seen; The modest snaw-drap hangs its head, True emblem o' my Jean. But though fell winter's reign be ower, And storms nae mair do blaw, Yet cauld and cheerless is the bow'r, If love is far awa'.
The sun shines clearer i' the lift, The breeze mair gentle sighs, And glowin' is the sleety drift, If warm'd by beauty's eyes. An' O gin love but lead the way, What cares can e'er befa'? The sun o' pleasure shines a' day, If love's no far awa'.
How swift the langest night flees by When twa fond lovers meet— An' balmy kiss and breathing sigh Together mingle sweet. And oh! how wae ilk ane's to part, When forc'd at duty's ca'; But dowie, dowie is the heart Whase love is far awa'.
Then, while our youth is i' the prime, Let's catch the fleeting hour; And offer vows at beauty's shriue, In token o' her pow'r. An' when auld age upon our pow Begins to fling his snaw, We'll welcome him wi' friendly low, If love's no far awa'.
# The Book of Scottish Song/Nicol Jarvie's Journey

Nicol Jarvie's Journey.
[As sung by Mr. Mackay, in the Opera of "Rob Roy."—Air, "Quaker's Wife."]
You may sing o' your Wallace and brag o' your Bruce, And talk o' your fechtin' Red Reiver, But whare will ye find me a man o' sic use, As a thorough-bred Saut Market Weaver? Let ante Nicol Jarvie come under your view, At hame whare the people adore me, Whare they made me a baillie and councillor too, Like my faither, the Deacon, before me.
These claverin' chiels in the elachan hard bye, They'll no gi'e a body but hard words, My faith! they shall find if again they will try, A het poker's as guid as their braid swords; It's as weel though to let that flee stick to the wa', For mayhap they may chance to claymore me, To let sleepin' dogs lie is the best thing ava, Said my faither, the Deacon, before me.
Wy puir cousin Rab, O! his terrible wife Was sae proud, that she chose to disown me, Fient a bodle cared she for a magistrate's life, My conscience! she was just gaun to drown me! But if ever again in her clutches I pop, Puir Matty may live to deplore me, But were I in Glasgow, I'd stick to my shop, Like my faither, the Deacon before me.
Now to think o' them hangin' a bailie so high, To be picked at by corbies and burdies! But if I were at Glasgow, my conscience! I'll try To let their craigs feel the weight o' their hurdies. But stop, Nicol! stop man! na, that canna be, For if ane wad to hame safe restore ye, In the Saut Market safe, I'd forget and forgie— Like my faither, the Deacon before me.

# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Arents, Albert

​ARENTS, Albert, metallurgist, was born in Clausthal, Germany, March 14, 1840. After receiving a thorough education in the mining schools of Germany and at the University of Berlin, he came to the United States, and filled several responsible places as superintendent of mines, of metallurgical mills, and of smelting works in the mineral sections of the far west. In 1882 he was elected a member of the American institute of mining engineers, for which he prepared a number of valuable technical papers. His inventions include the Arents roasting furnace, the Eureka lead furnace, and the siphon tap for use on lead furnaces.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Argall, Sir Samuel

​ARGALL, Sir Samuel, deputy governor of Virginia, was born in England in 1572. He came to America as early as 1609 on a trading and fishing expedition. The following year he conducted Lord Delaware to Virginia, and while in America established trade with the Indians. In 1612 his abduction of Pocahontas occurred. This has been erroneously looked upon as one of Argall's many acts of treachery and baseness. Powhatan, the Indian chief and father of Pocahontas, held in captivity a number of Englishmen whom Argall proposed to liberate by securing Pocahontas as a means of exchange. He went to her uncle, Pastancy, who, in consideration of a copper kettle, agreed to assist him in beguiling the young Indian girl to Argall's ship. The stratagem succeeded, and the English prisoners were released. Pocahontas was well treated, and declared her wish to "dwell with the English, who loved her best." In the latter part of 1613 he went with a vessel of fourteen guns, — under ​order of the new governor of Virginia, Sir Thomas Dale, — to reduce the French settlements of Mount Desert off the coast of Maine, St. Croix, and Port Royal, N. S., and in June, 1614, having accomplished his purpose, he took his French prisoners to England. In May, 1617, he returned to America with the appointment of deputy-governor of Virginia, and during his two years in this office he made himself exceedingly unpopular by his arrogance and greed. He was recalled in April, 1619, and died in England in 1639.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Armitage, William Edmond

​ARMITAGE, William Edmond, 2d bishop of Milwaukee, and 82d in succession in the American episcopate, was born in New York city, Sept. 6, 1830. He was graduated at Columbia college in 1849, and finished a course at the General theological seminary in 1852. He was ordained a deacon, June 27, 1852, and admitted to the priesthood, Sept. 27, 1854. His first curacy was at St. John's church, Portsmouth, N. H.; his second at St. Mark's, Augusta, Me. He next became rector of St. John's, Detroit, and there officiated until his election as assistant bishop of Milwaukee. He was consecrated Dec. 6, 1866, and labored harmoniously with his diocesan, Dr. Kemper, until the death of that venerable prelate in 1870, when he succeeded him in the bishopric of Wisconsin. He received the degree of S.T.D. from Columbia in 1866. He was an earnest preacher and a polished writer. He died from the effects of a surgical operation at St. Luke's hospital, N. Y., Dec. 7, 1873.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Armistead, George

​ARMISTEAD, George, soldier, was born at Newmarket, Va., April 10, 1780. He was one of five brothers, all of whom served with distinction in the war of 1812, three being in the regular army and two in the militia. One of his brothers was the third graduate of West Point, and his full length portrait was placed in the library on the academy grounds. His grandfather was a member of the house of burgesses and of the council of the state of Virginia. On his mother's side he was descended from Col. John Baylor, who was with Washington at Winchester. He entered the army as 2d lieutenant in 1799, passed through the regular grades of promotion, and as major of the 3d artillery was present at the capture of Fort George on Lake Ontario, where he distinguished himself by his gallantry. He was in command of Fort McHenry on Sept. 14, 1814, when it was attacked by the British under Admiral Cochrane, and his defence of the fortification not only saved it and Baltimore from capture, but preserved the entire Atlantic seaboard from further invasion. When the foe approached he alone of all the garrison knew that the magazine was not bomb-proof, and he dared not reveal the fact lest his men should refuse to remain. The strain upon his nervous system during the bombardment was extreme, and his death, which occurred some three years and a half later, was due to its effects. The citizens of Baltimore, in token of their gratitude, presented him with a handsome silver vase in the pattern of a bomb-shell, a set of goblets and a salver; he was brevetted lieutenant-colonel by the President, and was given the old flag that waved over the fort during the engagement, and the sight of which "by the dawn's early light" had inspired Francis Scott Key to pen his immortal "Star Spangled Banner." This flag came into possession of Colonel Armistead's descendants, who guard it with jealous care and exhibit it only on rare occasions. Colonel Armistead died at Baltimore, Md., April 25, 1818.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Armistead, Lewis Addison

​ARMISTEAD, Lewis Addison, soldier, was born at Newbern, N. C., Feb. 18, 1817, son of Walker Keith Armistead, a soldier in the war of 1812, holding the rank of lieutenant-colonel and promoted to brevet brigadier-general in 1832. The son studied for two years at West Point, but was not graduated. He was appointed second lieutenant in the 6th infantry on July 10, 1839, and promoted to first lieutenant in March, 1844. He served under General Scott during the war with Mexico, distinguishing himself and receiving brevets for his conduct at Contreras, Churubusco, Molino del Rey and Chapultepec, and was promoted to the rank of captain in March, 1855. He was later engaged against the Indians in the far west, and received his commission as major for gallantry, during the Indian campaign. He was at Los Angeles at the outbreak of the hostilities between the states, and after much hesitation decided to cast his lot with Virginia, the home of his ancestors, saying to Capt. Winfield Scott Hancock, then a major only by brevet: "Here is my major's uniform — you may some time have need of it." He at the same time left in his hands for safe keeping, and to be given to his family in case he should fall in battle, valuable private papers, which General Hancock returned to his sister, the wife of a Federal officer, at the close of the war. Armistead also gave Hancock ​a little prayer-book, which the general always kept. He returned to Virginia, and was given a brigadier-general's commission in the Confederate army, was severely wounded at Antietam, and fell while leading his brigade in the desperate charge of Pickett's division at Gettysburg, having almost reached the Federal lines. He was left on the field after the Confederates had been repulsed July 3, 1863, and died in the Federal hospital immediately after the battle.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Armistead, Walker Keith

​ARMISTEAD, Walker Keith, soldier, was born in Virginia about 1785, brother of George Armistead. He was graduated from West Point in 1803, his class being the second to be graduated at the academy, and was promoted 2d lieutenant of engineers. In 1805 he was promoted 1st lieutenant and in 1806, captain. From 1808 to 1811, he served as superintending engineer of the Norfolk (Va.) defences, being advanced to a major's commission on July 23, 1810. The following year he was at the military academy, remaining there until the outbreak of the war of 1812, when he was assigned to duty on the Niagara frontier as chief engineer of the army. On July 31, 1812, he was promoted lieutenant-colonel, was engaged at Fort Niagara during its bombardment in November, 1812, and in 1813 as engineer of the forces for the defence of the mouth of the Chesapeake bay, including Norfolk and Craney Island. From 1814 to 1818 he served as superintending engineer of the defences of Chesapeake bay and its tributary waters, being promoted colonel and chief engineer of the U.S. army on Nov. 12, 1818. For three years following he was in command of a corps of engineers, in charge of the engineer bureau at Washington, and inspector of the military academy. On June 1, 1821, the army being reorganized, he was promoted colonel, and from 1821 to 1827 was stationed at the headquarters of the 3d artillery, established at Fort Washington, Md., Boston, Mass., New London, Conn., Upperville, Va., and Fort Monroe, Va., and served in the Florida war against the Seminole Indians from 1836 to 1838. For two years he was on court-martial duty, and from May, 1840, to May, 1841, was in command of the Florida army serving against the Seminoles. For two years following this he was on the board to select a site for a western armory, and in 1843 and 1844 commanded his regiment at Fort Moultrie, S. C. In the latter part of 1844, he went to Upperville, Va., on sick leave, and died there Oct. 13, 1845.
