Bear back both friend and foe� ─ �Like reeds before the tempest's frown�察 �That serried grove of lances brown At once lay levelled low�察 �And closely shouldering side to side�察 �The bristling ranks the onset bide。 ; ;We'll quell the savage mountaineer�察 �As their Tinchel cows the game� �They come as fleet as forest deer�察 �We'll drive them back as tame。;

'Bearing before them in their course The relics of the archer force�察�Like wave with crest of sparkling foam�察�Right onward did Clan´Alpine come。 Above the tide�察�each broadsword bright Was brandishing like beam of light�察 �Each targe was dark below�察 �And with the ocean's mighty swing�察 �When heaving to the tempest's wing�察 �They hurled them on the foe。 I heard the lance's shivering crash�察�As when the whirlwind rends the ash�察�I heard the broadsword's deadly clang�察�As if a hundred anvils rang� �But Moray wheeled his rearward rank Of horsemen on Clan´Alpine's flank�察 �My banner´man�察�advance� �I see�察─�he cried�察 ─�their column shake。 Now�察�gallants� �for your ladies' sake�察 �Upon them with the lance� ─�The horsemen dashed among the rout�察 �As deer break through the broom��
Their steeds are stout�察�their swords are out�察 �They soon make lightsome room。 Clan´Alpine's best are backward borne Where�察�where was Roderick then� �One blast upon his bugle´horn Were worth a thousand men。 And refluent through the pass of fear The battle's tide was poured�察�Vanished the Saxon's struggling spear�察 �Vanished the mountain´sword。 As Bracklinn's chasm�察�so black and steep�察 �Receives her roaring linn As the dark caverns of the deep Suck the wild whirlpool in�察�So did the deep and darksome pass Devour the battle's mingled mass�察�None linger now upon the plain Save those who ne'er shall fight again。

'Now westward rolls the battle's din�察�That deep and doubling pass within。 Minstrel�察�away� �the work of fate Is bearing on�察�its issue wait�察�Where the rude Trosachs' dread defile Opens on Katrine's lake and isle。 Gray Benvenue I soon repassed�察�Loch Katrine lay beneath me cast。 The sun is set��the clouds are met�察 �The lowering scowl of heaven An inky hue of livid blue To the deep lake has given�察�Strange gusts of wind from mountain glen Swept o'er the lake�察�then sunk again。 I heeded not the eddying surge�察�Mine eye but saw the Trosachs' gorge�察�Mine ear but heard that sullen sound�察�Which like an earthquake shook the ground�察�And spoke the stern and desperate strife That parts not but with parting life�察�Seeming�察�to minstrel ear�察�to toll The dirge of many a passing soul。 Nearer it comesthe dim´wood glen The martial flood disgorged again�察 �But not in mingled tide�察 �The plaided warriors of the North High on the mountain thunder forth And overhang its side�察 �While by the lake below appears The darkening cloud of Saxon spears。 At weary bay each shattered band�察 �Eying their foemen�察�sternly stand�察 �Their banners stream like tattered sail�察 �That flings its fragments to the gale�察 �And broken arms and disarray Marked the fell havoc of the day。

'Viewing the mountain's ridge askance�察�The Saxons stood in sullen trance�察�Till Moray pointed with his lance�察 �And cried�此 ─�Behold yon isle� �See� �none are left to guard its strand But women weak�察�that wring the hand�此�'Tis there of yore the robber band Their booty wont to pile�察�My purse�察�with bonnet´pieces store�察�To him will swim a bow´shot o'er�察�And loose a shallop from the shore。 Lightly we'll tame the war´wolf then�察�Lords of his mate�察�and brood�察�and den。; Forth from the ranks a spearman sprung�察�On earth his casque and corselet rung�察 �He plunged him in the wave�此�All saw the deed��the purpose knew�察�And to their clamors Benvenue A mingled echo gave�察�The Saxons shout�察�their mate to cheer�察�The helpless females scream for fear And yells for rage the mountaineer。 'T was then�察�as by the outcry riven�察�Poured down at once the lowering heaven�此�A whirlwind swept Loch Katrine's breast�察�Her billows reared their snowy crest。 Well for the swimmer swelled they high�察�To mar the Highland marksman's eye�察�For round him showered�察�mid rain and hail�察�The vengeful arrows of the Gael。 In vain。He nears the isleand lo� �His hand is on a shallop's bow。 Just then a flash of lightning came�察�It tinged the waves and strand with flame�察�I marked Duncraggan's widowed dame�察�Behind an oak I saw her stand�察�A naked dirk gleamed in her hand�此�It darkened��but amid the moan Of waves I heard a dying groan�察�Another flash��the spearman floats A weltering corse beside the boats�察�And the stern matron o'er him stood�察�Her hand and dagger streaming blood。

;'Revenge� �revenge� ─�the Saxons cried�察�The Gaels' exulting shout replied。 Despite the elemental rage�察�Again they hurried to engage�察�But�察�ere they closed in desperate fight�察�Bloody with spurring came a knight�察�Sprung from his horse�察�and from a crag Waved 'twixt the hosts a milk´white flag。 Clarion and trumpet by his side Rung forth a truce´note high and wide�察�While�察�in the Monarch's name�察�afar A herald's voice forbade the war�察�For Bothwell's lord and Roderick bold Were both�察�he said�察�in captive hold。' But here the lay made sudden stand�察�The harp escaped the Minstrel's hand� �Oft had he stolen a glance�察�to spy How Roderick brooked his minstrelsy�此�At first�察�the Chieftain�察�to the chime�察�With lifted hand kept feeble time�察�That motion ceased��yet feeling strong Varied his look as changed the song�察�At length�察�no more his deafened ear The minstrel melody can hear�察�His face grows sharp��his hands are clenched' As if some pang his heart´strings wrenched�察�Set are his teeth�察�his fading eye Is sternly fixed on vacancy�察�Thus�察�motionless and moanless�察�drew His parting breath stout Roderick Dhu� �Old Allan´bane looked on aghast�察�While grim and still his spirit passed�察�But when he saw that life was fled�察�He poured his wailing o'er the dead。

Lament。
'And art thou cold and lowly laid�察�Thy foeman's dread�察�thy people's aid�察�Breadalbane's boast�察�Clan´Alpine's shade� �For thee shall none a requiem say�拭�For thee�察�who loved the minstrel's lay�察�For thee�察�of Bothwell's house the stay�察�The shelter of her exiled line�察�E'en in this prison´house of shine�察�I'll wail for Alpine's honored Pine��
'What groans shall yonder valleys fill� �What shrieks of grief shall rend yon hill� �What tears of burning rage shall thrill�察�When mourns thy tribe thy battles done�察�Thy fall before the race was won�察�Thy sword ungirt ere set of sun� �There breathes not clansman of thy line�察�But would have given his life for shine。 O�察�woe for Alpine's honoured Pine��
'Sad was thy lot on mortal stage� �The captive thrush may brook the cage�察�The prisoned eagle dies for rage。 Brave spirit�察�do Dot scorn my strain� �And�察�when its notes awake again�察�Even she�察�so long beloved in vain�察�Shall with my harp her voice combine�察�And mix her woe and tears with mine�察�To wail Clan´Alpine's honoured Pine。'

Ellen the while�察�with bursting heart�察�Remained in lordly bower apart�察�Where played�察�with many´coloured gleams�察�Through storied pane the rising beams。 In vain on gilded roof they fall�察�And lightened up a tapestried wall�察�And for her use a menial train A rich collation spread in vain。 The banquet proud�察�the chamber gay�察�Scarce drew one curious glance astray�察�Or if she looked�察�'t was but to say�察�With better omen dawned the day In that lone isle�察�where waved on high The dun´deer's hide for canopy�察�Where oft her noble father shared The simple meal her care prepared�察�While Lufra�察�crouching by her side�察�Her station claimed with jealous pride�察�And Doug��as�察�bent on woodland game�察�Spoke of the chase to Malcolm Graeme�察�Whose answer�察�oft at random made�察�The wandering of his thoughts betrayed。 Those who such simple joys have known Are taught to prize them when they 're gone。 But sudden�察�see�察�she lifts her head�察�The window seeks with cautious tread。 What distant music has the power To win her in this woful hour�拭�'T was from a turret that o'erhung Her latticed bower�察�the strain was sung。

Lay of the Imprisoned Huntsman。
'My hawk is tired of perch and hood�察�My idle greyhound loathes his food�察�My horse is weary of his stall�察�And I am sick of captive thrall。 I wish I were as I have been�察�Hunting the hart in forest green�察�With bended bow and bloodhound free�察�For that's the life is meet for me。
I hate to learn the ebb of time From yon dull steeple's drowsy chime�察�Or mark it as the sunbeams crawl�察�Inch after inch�察�along the wall。 The lark was wont my matins ring�察�The sable rook my vespers sing�察�These towers�察�although a king's they be�察�Have not a hall of joy for me。
No more at dawning morn I rise�察�And sun myself in Ellen's eyes�察�Drive the fleet deer the forest through�察�And homeward wend with evening dew�察�A blithesome welcome blithely meet�察�And lay my trophies at her feet�察�While fled the eve on wing of glee�察�That life is lost to love and me��'

The heart´sick lay was hardly said�察�The listener had not turned her head�察�It trickled still�察�the starting tear�察�When light a footstep struck her ear�察�And Snowdoun's graceful Knight was near。 She
