584. (28) Mr George Thomson Trustees Office Edinr
Se. 8 [1793] [Postmark]
I am happy, my dear Sir, that my Ode pleases you so much.—Your idea, "honour's bed," is, though a beautiful, a hacknied idea; so, if you please, we will let the line stand as it is.—I have altered the Song as follows.—
- Bannockburn—A Song—
- Robert Bruce's Address to his Army.—
- Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
- Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
- Welcome to your gory bed,
- Or to glorious victorie.—
- Now's the day, & now's the hour;
- See the front o' battle lour;
- See approach proud Edward's power—
- Edward! Chains & Slaverie!
- pg 238 Wha will be a traitor knave?
- Wha can fill a coward's grave?
- Wha sae base as be a slave?
- Traitor! Coward! turn & flie!
- Wha for Scotland's King & Law
- Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
- Free-man stand, or Free-man fa',
- By Oppression's woes & pains!
- By your sons in servile chains!
- We will drain our dearest veins,
- But they shall be—shall be free!
- Lay the proud usurpers low!
- Tyrants fall in every foe!
- Liberty's in every blow!
- Forward! Let us Do, or Die!!!
N.B. I have borrowed the last stanza from the common Stall edition of Wallace—
- "A false usurper sinks in every foe,
- And liberty returns with every blow"1—
A couplet worthy of Homer.—Yesterday you had enough of my correspondence—the post goes—& my head achs miserably.—One comfort: I suffer so much, just now, in this world, for last night's debauch, that I shall escape scot-free for it in the world to come.—Amen!

Editor’s Note
1 William Hamilton of Gilbertfield: The Life and Heroic Actions of Sir William Wallace [title varies], Bk VI, chap. 2, lines 92—3. This book was first published in Glasgow in 1722 and was frequently republished, often with John Harvey's Life and Martial Achievements of … Robert Bruce, King of Scotland. Hamilton's work should not be confused with Blind Harry's Metrical History of Sir William Wallace, to an edition of which, published in Perth in 1790, Burns was a subscriber, and which he described to Mrs. Dunlop (Letter 428) as 'the most elegant piece of work that ever came from any Printing-press in Great-britain'.
