Tune-"Caledonian Hunts' Delight" of Mr. Gow.
There was once a day, but old Time wasythen young, / That brave Caledonia, the chief of her line, / From some of your northern deities sprung, / (Who knows not that brave Caledonia's divine? ) / From Tweed to the Orcades was her domain, / To hunt, or to pasture, or do what she would: / Her heav'nly relations there fixed her reign, / And pledg'd her their godheads to warrant it good.
