FOOTNOTES:

[27] The last four lines of this stanza are not the production of

Nicoll, but have been contributed for the present work by Mr Alexander

Wilson, of Perth. The insertion of the lines prevents the occurrence of

a half stanza, which has hitherto interfered with the singing of this

popular song.
