THU SCOTTISH BOllDEIl. 469<br />

WAR-SONG<br />

OF THE<br />

ROYAL EDINBURGH LIGHT DRAGOONS.<br />

To horse ! to horse ! <strong>the</strong> standard flies,<br />

The bugles sound <strong>the</strong> call<br />

The Gallic navy stems <strong>the</strong> seas,<br />

The voice <strong>of</strong> battle's on <strong>the</strong> breeze.<br />

Arouse ye, one and all<br />

From high Dunedin's towers we come,<br />

A band <strong>of</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>rs true ;<br />

Our casqvies <strong>the</strong> leopard's spoils surround.<br />

With <strong>Scotland</strong>'s hardy thistle crown'd ;<br />

We boast <strong>the</strong> red and blue.*<br />
