Lines on Embro and Zorra

O’er various counties of the north,

When cruel order did go forth,

For to destroy many a home,

So that the wild deer free might roam;

The men of Sutherland and Ross,

The broad Atlantic they did cross,

Each seeking for a fertile farm,

These rolling lands for them had charm;

They ne’er desired again to roam,

Each happy in his woodland home,

Where middle branch of Thames doth flow

They built the village of Embro,

And it the hill tops now doth crown

Like its grand namesake Edina Town,

And good flour mills you here do find

And oats also they here do grind.
