| Prince & others: | In my bonny lassie's praise. |
| Lochiel: | Her peer you'll find not north or south, In vain the world you'll seek; So lovely are her azure eyes, So lovely is her smiling mouth, So fair her blooming cheek. |
| Prince & others: | So lovely is her smiling mouth, So fair her blooming cheek. |
| Mayor: | ...her cheek. |

| Mayor & others: | Steal away, |
| Prince & others: | We steal, steal away, Steal away, I steal, steal away, |
| Rob Roy: | ...steal, |
| Prince & others: | Yes, we love to steal. |
| Tammas & Lochiel: | We love to, |
| All: | Love to steal away together, I love... |
