   Old hills upon bleak native meadows Oh, you are far more dear to me To wish in valour with beauty equal Than all that beauty that here I see Those city sights may be grand and glowing But on what rapture my heart inflicts Or would I fancy these breezes blowing Across the dear old Baggina(?) hills.
