William Edmondstoune Aytoun: Frases em inglês

“There is yet one place of shelter,
Where the foeman cannot come,
Where the summons never sounded
Of the trumpet or the drum.
There again we'll meet our children,
Who, on Flodden's trampled sod,
For their king and for their country
Rendered up their souls to God.
There shall we find rest and refuge,
With our dear departed brave;
And the ashes of the city
Be our universal grave!”

Edinburgh after Flodden, stanza XV, from Lays of The Scottish Cavaliers (1848)

“Fhairshon had a son,
Who married Noah's daughter,
And nearly spoiled ta Flood,
By drinking up the water.

Which he would have done,
I at least pelieve it,
Had the mixture been
Only half Glenlivet.”
