Both Sides the Tweed

Lyrics

What's the spring-breathing jasmine and rose? What's the summer with all its gay train
 Or the splendour of autumn to those
 Who've bartered their freedom for gain? Let the love of our land's sacred rights
 To the love of our people succeed
 Let friendship and honour unite
 And flourish on both sides the Tweed. No sweetness the senses can cheer
 Which corruption and bribery bind
 No brightness that gloom can e'er clear
 For honour's the sum of the mind Let virtue distinguish the brave
 Place riches in lowest degree
 Think them poorest who can be a slave
 Them richest who dare to be free
