PRESENTED BY SANDY LAWRIE,

Duns, Berwickshire, Scotland.

Dear Sir, this is a kind memento
Written by a brither Scott,

Which he has composed and sent you
That he near may be forgot.

A lang farewell unto you, Johnnie,
My ain true-hearted usefu Cronnie,

Still may your way be straight and bonnie
An always free.

An my Gude blessing light upon ye
Though o'er the sea.

Lang hae we been twa comrades dear,
But now maun part for lang I fear
Which makes true friendship's panting tear
Start to mine eye,

While ye in midst of life's carrier
Maun o're the sea.

Weel, since ye will nae langer stay,
What wade ye have me mair to say
Than wish you weel when far away.
And may you thrive
In Saul and Body every day

While ye're alive.

An when ye cross the raging Ocean,

I will you mind in my Devotion,

And plead your cause wi' great emotion

'Till ye arrive

Like Israel in the land of Goshen,

Like them to thrive,

Finis.

So when ye're safe a yont the sea,
'Mang your new friends wha'eer they be,
When ye'll be blythe and fou o' glee
To see them a

Then heave a sigh and think on me
That's far awa.

Think on the monny tiresome days
We twa hae spent a Johnny G―s,
Surrounded by enraged foes

Whars cursed spite

Aft Girn'd (to multiply our waes)
But durst nae bite.

And think how aft a down the stream
Wev'e wandert 'neath the moon's pale beam
Whyle conversation turned on J. E. A. N.
Whas worthy name

Made our young hearts wi' love right keen
Burn like a flame.

But all our pranks baith late an air
For to gang thro' would pinch me sair,
For my poor muse can kime no mair
So now I'll end it,

Yet ye'll keep this, wi tentie care
For his sake that pend it.

An when on it ye chance to read

Let auld lang-syne run in your head

Then send your thoughts wi rapid speed
Across the sea,

And wi a heart frae envy freed,

You'll think on me.
