Pub. London and Edinburgh, c.1786.

Campbell settled in Edinburgh from Stirling, and was an organist there. By repute he was friends with Burns and gave singing lessons (albeit unsuccessfully) to the young Walter Scott.
Lyrics: Anon

No dawning hope can strike my soul,
To strike her from lethargic woe.
The place of mirth I'll haunt no more;
To some far deep recess I'll go;
There to mourn in doleful tales,
And echo thro' the caves shall wind
The joys I once with Julia found;
Tho' she's not false, yet she's unkind.
