| Of Wallace to be found like a wild flower | B |
| All over his dear Country left the deeds | C |
| Of Wallace like a family of ghosts | D |
| To people the steep rocks and river banks | E |
| Her natural sanctuaries with a local soul | F |
| Of independence and stern liberty | G |
| See The Prelude Book I Lines | H |

| Lord of the vale astounding Flood | I |
| The dullest leaf in this thick wood | J |
| Quakes conscious of thy power | B |
| The caves reply with hollow moan | K |
| And vibrates to its central stone | K |
| Yon time cemented Tower | B |
| - | |
| And yet how fair the rural scene | L |
| For thou O Clyde hast ever been | M |
| Beneficent as strong | N |
| Pleased in refreshing dews to steep | O |
| The little trembling flowers that peep | O |
| Thy shelving rocks among | P |
| - | |
| Hence all who love their country love | Q |
| To look on thee delight to rove | R |
| Where they thy voice can hear | S |
| And to the patriot warrior's Shade | T |
| Lord of the vale to Heroes laid | T |
| In dust that voice is dear | U |
| - | |
| Along thy banks at dead of night | V |
| Sweeps visibly the Wallace Wight | V |
| Or stands in warlike vest | W |
| Aloft beneath the moon's pale beam | X |
| A Champion worthy of the stream | X |
| Yon grey tower's living crest | W |
| - | |
| But clouds and envious darkness hide | Y |
| A Form not doubtfully descried | Y |
| Their transient mission o'er | B |
| O say to what blind region flee | G |
| These Shapes of awful phantasy | H |
| To what untrodden shore | Z |
| - | |
| Less than divine command they spurn | A2 |
| But this we from the mountains learn | A2 |
| And this the valleys show | B2 |
| That never will they deign to hold | Y |
| Communion where the heart is cold | Y |
| To human weal and woe | B2 |
| - | |
| The man of abject soul in vain | C2 |
| Shall walk the Marathonian plain | C2 |
| Or thrid the shadowy gloom | D2 |
| That still invests the guardian Pass | H |
| Where stood sublime Leonidas | H |
| Devoted to the tomb | D2 |
| - | |
| And let no Slave his head incline | E2 |
| Or kneel before the votive shrine | E2 |
| By Uri's lake where Tell | F2 |
| Leapt from his storm vext boat to land | Y |
| Heaven's Instrument for by his hand | Y |
| That day the Tyrant fell | F2 |
