INDEX OF FIRST LINES.-VOL. II.

A head, pure, sinless quite of brain and soul

A rose-bud by my early walk

A slave to love's unbounded sway.

A' the lads o' Thornie-bank
Adieu! a heart-warm, fond adieu !
Adown winding Nith I did wander
Ae day, as Death, that grusome carl
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever! .
Again rejoicing Nature sees.
Ah, Chloris, since it may na be
All devil as I am, a damned wretch
Altho' my back be at the wa'.

Altho' my bed were in yon muir

[blocks in formation]

Ask why God made the gem so small

As I was a wand'ring ae midsummer e'enin'

As Tam the Chapman on a day

At Brownhill we always get dainty good cheer
Auld comrade dear and brither sinner
Awa' wi' your witchcraft o' beauty's alarms

Bannocks o' bear meal

Behind yon hills where Lugar flows
Behold the hour, the boat arrive!
Below their stanes lie Jamie's banes
Bless Jesus Christ, O Cardoness

Blest be M'Murdo to his latest day
Blithe hae I been on yon hill
Bonie wee thing, cannie wee thing
Bright ran thy line, O Galloway
But lately seen in gladsome green
But rarely seen since Nature's birth
By Allan stream I chanc'd to rove
