StaHa ! sprang from high Macdonald,
Worthy hraneh of old Irtanronald ;
St affa! kiug of all kind fellows,
Well betitt thy hills and tallies,
Lakes and inlets, deeps and shallows, S
Cliffs of Jolliness, caves of wonder,
Eelhoing the Atlantic's thunder.
Mountains, which the grey mist cowers,
Where the chieftain's spirit hovers,
Pausing, as his pi ~,,, ns qaiver,

Each kind influence rest above thee,
All thou lois., and all wh,. hose thee.
Warmer heart, 'twist this and Jaffa,
Heats not than is breast af'Stadfa.
