Note 83 — ROBERT TANNAHILL.
Reading edition
A clerical friend has communicated to us the following stanza, which he heard sung by an old Highlander, as an addition to the "Braes o' Balquhither:"—
"While the lads of the south Toil for bare worldly treasure— To the lads of the north Every day brings its pleasure: Oh, blithe are the joys That the Highlandman possesses, He feels no annoys, For he fears no distresses."
