thomson's edward and eleanora.

　　farewell, old scotia's bleak domains,

　　far dearer than the torrid plains,

　　where rich ananas blow!

　　farewell, a mother's blessing dear!

　　a borther's sigh! a sister's tear!

　　my jean's heart-rending throe!

　　farewell, my bess! tho' thou'rt bereft

　　of my paternal care.

　　a faithful brother i have left,

　　my part in him thou'lt share!

　　adieu, too, to you too,

　　my smith, my bosom frien';

　　when kindly you mind me,

　　o then befriend my jean!

　　what bursting anguish tears my heart;

　　from thee, my jeany, must i part!

　　thou, weeping, answ'rest—“no!”

　　alas! misfortune stares my face,

　　and points to ruin and disgrace,

　　i for thy sake must go!

　　thee, hamilton, and aiken dear,

　　a grateful, warm adieu:

　　i, with a much-indebted tear,

　　shall still remember you!

　　all hail then, the gale then,

　　wafts me from thee, dear shore!

　　it rustles, and whistles

　　i'll never see thee more!
