- From the brown crest of Newark its summons extending
- Duncan Gray cam here to woo
- Up! Quit thy bower, late wears the hour
- Ye shepherds of this pleasant vale
- Cease your funning, force or cunning
- My harry was a gallant gay
- O lovely Polly Stewart
- The hero may perish his country to save
- Away, ye gay landscapes, ye gardens of roses
- Oh! Tell me, Harper, wherefore flow
- Should auld acquaintance be forgot
- Dark was the morn and black the sea
