A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Etc OF Knockgray, Author of Robert the Bruce, etc, etc. To him whose tuneful high-aspiring muse Invoked the fortunes of our Royal Bruce ;I nlofty strains who taught his harp to ring With Scotland ssorrows, and her Hero King :H ow freedom groan din Albyn shumbled land Beneath a crafty tyrants ruthless hand, Bending her nerveless neck to vaunting power, While fraud and carnage ruled the fatal hour; And how her patriot sons indignant rose In martial phalanx gainst her haughty foes. In grim array their serried ranks withstood. And dyed the russet heath with Southron blood, Or glorious fell, and, with their parting breath. Shouted their slogan Victory or Death I How he, the Hero of a hundred songs The stemvenger of his countrys wrongs Though baffled oft, yet, ever unsubdued. With martial skill the varying war pursued. Till laurel dvictory burst the enthralling coil, And smiling freedom blessed his native soil: To him my muse her rustic tribute pays. To him I dedicate my humble lays.
