[June 24, 1314]
SCOTS, wha hae wi’ Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
Welcome to your gory bed,
    Or to victorie.

Now ’s the day, and now ’s the hour
See the front o’ battle lour:
See approach proud Edward’s power,—
    Chains and slaverie!

Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward’s grave...
