YARROW UNVISITED.

(See the various Poems the scene of which is laid upon theBanks of the Yarrow; in particular, the exquisite Ballad of Hamilton, beginning
"Busk ye, busk ye my bonny, bonny Bride,Busk ye, busk ye my winsome Marrow!"—)


From Stirling Castle we had seenThe mazy Forth unravell'd;Had trod the banks of Clyde, and Tay,And with the Tweed had travell'd;And, when we came to Clovenford,Then said my "winsome Marrow,""Whate'er betide, we'll turn aside,"And see the Braes of Yarrow."
