them here for battle boune。' 'Then shall it see a meeting stern� �But�察�for the place��say�察�couldst thou learn Nought of the friendly clans of Earn�拭�Strengthened by them�察�we well might bide The battle on Benledi's side。 Thou couldst not��well� �Clan´Alpine's men Shall man the Trosachs' shaggy glen�察�Within Loch Katrine's gorge we'll fight�察�All in our maids' and matrons' sight�察�Each for his hearth and household fire�察�Father for child�察�and son for sire Lover for maid beloved��But why Is it the breeze affects mine eye�拭�Or dost thou come�察�ill´omened tear� �A messenger of doubt or fear�拭�No� �sooner may the Saxon lance Unfix Benledi from his stance�察�Than doubt or terror can pierce through The unyielding heart of Roderick Dhu� �'tis stubborn as his trusty targe。 Each to his post��all know their charge。' The pibroch sounds�察�the bands advance�察�The broadswords gleam�察�the banners dance' Obedient to the Chieftain's glance。 I turn me from the martial roar And seek Coir´Uriskin once more。

Where is the Douglas��he is gone�察�And Ellen sits on the gray stone Fast by the cave�察�and makes her moan�察�While vainly Allan's words of cheer Are poured on her unheeding ear。 'He will returndear lady�察�trust� �With joy return��he willhe must。 Well was it time to seek afar Some refuge from impending war�察�When e'en Clan´Alpine's rugged swarm Are cowed by the approaching storm。 I saw their boats with many a light�察�Floating the livelong yesternight�察�Shifting like flashes darted forth By the red streamers of the north�察�I marked at morn how close they ride�察�Thick moored by the lone islet's side�察�Like wild ducks couching in the fen When stoops the hawk upon the glen。 Since this rude race dare not abide The peril on the mainland side�察�Shall not thy noble father's care Some safe retreat for thee prepare��'

Ellen。
'No�察�Allan�察�no ' Pretext so kind My wakeful terrors could not blind。 When in such tender tone�察�yet grave�察�Douglas a parting blessing gave�察�The tear that glistened in his eye Drowned not his purpose fixed and high。 My soul�察�though feminine and weak�察�Can image his�察�e'en as the lake�察�Itself disturbed by slightest stroke。 Reflects the invulnerable rock。 He hears report of battle rife�察�He deems himself the cause of strife。 I saw him redden when the theme Turned�察�Allan�察�on shine idle dream Of Malcolm Graeme in fetters bound�察�Which I�察�thou saidst�察�about him wound。 Think'st thou he bowed shine omen aught�拭�O no' 't was apprehensive thought For the kind youth�察�for Roderick too Let me be justthat friend so true�察�In danger both�察�and in our cause� �Minstrel�察�the Douglas dare not pause。 Why else that solemn warning given�察�'If not on earth�察�we meet in heaven��' Why else�察�to Cambus´kenneth's fane�察�If eve return him not again�察�Am I to hie and make me known�拭�Alas� �he goes to Scotland's throne�察�Buys his friends' safety with his own�察 �He goes to dowhat I had done�察�Had Douglas' daughter been his son��'

'Nay�察�lovely Ellen��dearest�察�nay� �If aught should his return delay�察�He only named yon holy fane As fitting place to meet again。 Be sure he's safe�察�and for the Graeme�察�Heaven's blessing on his gallant name� �My visioned sight may yet prove true�察�Nor bode of ill to him or you。 When did my gifted dream beguile�拭�Think of the stranger at the isle�察�And think upon the harpings slow That presaged this approaching woe� �Sooth was my prophecy of fear�察�Believe it when it augurs cheer。 Would we had left this dismal spot� �Ill luck still haunts a fairy spot� �Of such a wondrous tale I know Dear lady�察�change that look of woe�察�My harp was wont thy grief to cheer。'
Ellen。
'Well�察�be it as thou wilt�察�I hear�察�But cannot stop the bursting tear。' The Minstrel tried his simple art�察�Rut distant far was Ellen's heart。

Ballad。
Alice Brand。
Merry it is in the good greenwood�察 �When the mavis and merle are singing�察�When the deer sweeps by�察�and the hounds are in cry�察 �And the hunter's horn is ringing。
'O Alice Brand�察�my native land Is lost for love of you�察�And we must hold by wood and word�察 �As outlaws wont to do。
'O Alice�察�'t was all for thy locks so bright�察 �And 't was all for shine eyes so blue�察�That on the night of our luckless flight Thy brother bold I slew。
'Now must I teach to hew the beech The hand that held the glaive�察�For leaves to spread our lowly bed�察 �And stakes to fence our cave。
'And for vest of pall�察�thy fingers small�察 �That wont on harp to stray�察�A cloak must shear from the slaughtered deer�察 �To keep the cold away。'
'O Richard� �if my brother died�察 �'T was but a fatal chance�察�For darkling was the battle tried�察 �And fortune sped the lance。
'If pall and vair no more I wear�察 �Nor thou the crimson sheen As warm�察�we'll say�察�is the russet gray�察 �As gay the forest´green。
'And�察�Richard�察�if our lot be hard�察 �And lost thy native land�察�Still Alice has her own Richard�察 �And he his Alice Brand。'

Ballad Continued。
'tis merry�察�'tis merry�察�in good greenwood�察 �So blithe Lady Alice is singing�察�On the beech's pride�察�and oak's brown side�察 �Lord Richard's axe is ringing。
Up spoke the moody Elfin King�察 �Who woned within the hill�察�Like wind in the porch of a ruined church�察 �His voice was ghostly shrill。
'Why sounds yon stroke on beech and oak�察 �Our moonlight circle's screen�拭�Or who comes here to chase the deer�察 �Beloved of our Elfin Queen�拭�Or who may dare on wold to wear The fairies' fatal green��
'Up�察�Urgan�察�up� �to yon mortal hie�察 �For thou wert christened man�察�For cross or sign thou wilt not fly�察 �For muttered word or ban。
'Lay on him the curse of the withered heart�察 �The curse of the sleepless eye�察�Till he wish and pray that his life would part�察 �Nor yet find leave to die。'

'Tis merry�察�'tis merry�察�in good greenwood�察 �Though the birds have stilled their singing�察�The evening blaze cloth Alice raise�察 �And Richard is fagots bringing。
Up Urgan starts�察�that hideous dwarf�察 �Before Lord Richard stands�察�And�察�as he crossed and blessed himself�察 �'I fear not sign��' quoth the grisly elf�察 �'That is made with bloody hands。'
But out then spoke she�察�Alice Brand�察 �That woman void of fear�察�'And if there 's blood upon his hand�察 �'Tis but the blood of deer。'
'Now loud thou liest�察�thou bold of mood� �It cleaves unto his hand�察�The stain of shine own kindly blood�察 �The blood of Ethert Brand。'
Then forward stepped she�察�Alice Brand�察 �And made the holy sign�察�'And if there's blood on Richard's hand�察 �A spotless hand is mine。
'And I conjure thee�察�demon elf�察 �By Him whom demons fear�察�To show us whence thou art thyself�察 �And what shine errand here�拭�'

;Tis merry�察�'tis merry�察�in Fairy´land�察 �When fairy birds are singing�察�When the court cloth ride by their monarch's side�察 �With bit and bridle ringing��
'And gayly shines the Fairy´land But all is glistening show�察�Like the idle gleam that December's beam Can dart on ice and snow。
'And fading�察�like that varied gleam�察 �Is our inconstant shape�察�Who now like knight and lady seem�察 �And now like dwarf and ape。
'It was between the night and day�察 �When the Fairy King has power�察�That I sunk down in a sinful fray�察�And 'twixt life and death was snatched away To the joyless Elfin bower。
'But wist I of a woman bold�察 �Who thrice my brow durst sign�察�I might regain my mortal mould�察 �As fair a form as thine。'
She crossed him onceshe crossed him twice That lady was so brave�察�The fouler grew his goblin hue�察 �The darker grew the cave。
She crossed him thrice�察�that lady bold�察 �He rose beneath her hand The fairest knight on Scottish mould�察 �Her brother�察�Ethert Brand��
Merry it is in good greenwood�察 �When the mavis and merle are singing�察�But merrier were they in Dunfermline gray�察 �When all the bells were ringing。
XVI。
Just as the minstrel sounds were stayed�察�A stranger climbed the steepy glade�察�His martial step�察�his stately mien�察�His hunting´suit of Lincoln green�察�His eagle glance�察�remembrance claims 'Tis Snowdoun's Knight�察�'tis James Fitz´James。 Ellen beheld as in a dream�察�Then�察�starting�察�scarce suppressed a scream�此�'O stranger� �in such hour of fear What evil hap has brought thee here��' 'An evil hap how can it be That bids me look again on thee�拭�By promise bound�察�my former guide Met me betimes this morning´tide�察�And marshalled over bank and bourne The happy path of my return。' 'The happy path��what� �said he naught Of war�察�of battle to be fought�察�Of guarded pass�拭�' ' No�察�by my faith� �Nor saw I aught could augur scathe。' 'O haste thee�察�Allan�察�to the kern�此�Yonder his tartars I discern�察�Learn thou his purpose�察�and conjure That he will guide the stranger sure� �What prompted thee�察�unhappy man�拭�The meanest serf in Roderick's clan Had not been bribed�察�by love or fear�察�Unknown to him to guide thee here。'

'Sweet Ellen�察�dear my life must be�察�Since it is worthy care from thee�察�et life I hold but idle breath When love or honor's weighed with death。 Then let me profit by my chance�察�And speak my purpose bold at once。 I come to bear thee from a wild Where ne'er before such blossom smiled�察�By this soft h
