<L>Among all tho&s;e be makes his choice</L>
<L>and gladly goes he thorow,</L>
<L>With Radiant Beams, and Silver Streams,</L>
<L>Through Leader Haughs and Yarow.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When Aries, the day and night</L>
<L>In equal length divideth,</L>
<L>Old fro&s;ty Saturn takes the flight</L>
<L>No longer he abideth:</L>
<L>Then Flora Queen, with Mantle green,</L>
<L>Ca&s;ts off her former &s;orrow,</L>
<L>And vows to dwell with Caeres &s;ell</L>
<L>In Leader Haughs and Yarow.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Pan playing on his Oaten reed,</L>
<L>with Sheepherds him attending,</L>
<L>Doth here re&s;ort their flocks to feed,</L>
<L>The Hill, and Haughs commending;</L>
<L>With bottle, bag, and staff with knag,</L>
<L>and all &s;inging good Morrow;</L>
<L>They &s;wear no Fields more plea&s;ure yields,</L>
<L>Then Leader Haughs and Yarow.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>One Hou&s;e there &s;tands on Leader &s;ide</L>
<L>Surmounting my de&s;tr<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="pdcc" EXTENT="1 letter">ing,</L>
<L>With Ea&s;e rooms raie, and Windows fair,</L>
<L>Like Daedalus contriving:</L>
<L>Men pa&s;&s;ing by, do often &s;ay,</L>
<L>In South it has no marrow;</L>
<L>It &s;tands as fair on Leader &s;ide,</L>
<L>As New wark does on Yarow,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A mile below, who li&s;t to ride,</L>
<L>They'l heare the Mavis &s;inging,</L>
<L>Into St. Leonards bank &s;he'l bide,</L>
<L>Sweet Birks her head o'r hinging:</L>
<L>The Lint white loud, and progne proud,</L>
<L>With tender throats and narrow,</L>
<L>Into St. Leonards banks do &s;ing</L>
<L>As &s;weetly as in Yarow.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Lapwing lilteth o'r the Lie,</L>
<L>With nimble wings &s;he &s;porteth,</L>
<L>But vowes &s;he'l not come near the Tree</L>
<L>Where philomel re&s;orteth:</L>
<L>By break of day, the Lark can &s;ay,</L>
<L>l'e bid you all good morrow,</L>
<L>I'le yout and yell, for I may dwell</L>
<L>In Leader Haughs and Yarow.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Parke, wanton walls, and wooden cleugh,</L>
<L>The Ea&s;t and Ve&s;ter Main&s;es,</L>
<L>The Forre&s;t of Lawder's fair enough,</L>
<L>The Corns are good in blan&s;ties;</L>
<L>Where Oats are fine and &s;old by kind,</L>
<L>That if ye &s;earch all thorow</L>
<L>Mearns, buchan, Marr, none better are,</L>
<L>Then Leader Haughs and Yarow.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In burn Milne boge, and whit&s;tead Shawes,</L>
<L>The fearful Hare &s;he haunteth,</L>
<L>Bridge haugh and broad wood &s;hiel &s;he knawes</L>
<L>To the chapel wood frequenteth:</L>
<L>Yet when &s;he irks, to Kaid&s;tie Birks,</L>
<L>She runs and &s;ighs for &s;orrow,</L>
<L>That &s;he &s;hould leave &s;weet Leader Haughs.</L>
