409。 Middle age。 As James died at the age of thirty ��in 1542���察�this is not strictly true�察�but the portrait in other respects is quite accurate。 He was fond of going about disguised�察�and some of his freaks of this kind are pleasantly related in Scott's Tales of a Grandfather。 See on vi。 740 below。

460。 Was on�察�etc。 The MS。 reads�此 �Is often on the future bent。; ;If force of evidence could authorize us to believe facts inconsistent with the general laws of nature�察�enough might be produced in favor of the existence of the second´sight。 It is called in Gaelic Taishitaraugh�察�from Taish�察�an unreal or shadowy appearance�察�and those possessed of the faculty are called Taishatrin�察�which may be aptly translated visionaries。 Martin�察�a steady believer in the second´sight�察�gives the following account of it��
'The second´sight is a singular faculty of seeing an otherwise invisible object without any previous means used by the person that uses if for that end�此�the vision makes such a lively impression upon the seers�察�that they neither see nor think of any thing else�察�except the vision�察�as long as it continues�察�and then they appear pensive or jovial�察�according to the object that was represented to them。
'At the sight of a vision�察�the eyelids of the person are erected�察�and the eyes continue staring until the object vanish。 This is obvious to others who are by when the persons happen to see a vision�察�and occurred more than once to my own observation�察�and to others that were with me。 。。。
'If a woman is seen standing at a man's left hand�察�it is a presage that she will be his wife�察�whether they be married to others�察�or unmarried at the time of the apparition。
'To see a spark of fire fall upon one's arm or breast is a forerunner of a dead child to be seen in the arms of those persons�察�of which there are several fresh instances。 。。。
'To see a seat empty at the time of one's sitting in it�察�is a presage of that person's death soon after' ��Martin's Description of the Western Islands�察�1716�察�8vo�察�p。 300�察�et seq。��。
;To these particulars innumerable examples might be added�察�all attested by grave and credible authors。 But�察�in despite of evidence which neither Bacon�察�Boyle�察�nor Johnson were able to resist�察�the Taish�察�with all its visionary properties�察�seems to be now universally abandoned to the use of poetry。 The exquisitely beautiful poem of Lochiel will at once occur to the recollection of every reader; ��Scott��。
462。 Birchen。 Shaded by birches。 Cf。 Milton's ;cedarn alleys; in Comus�察�990。
464。 Lincoln green。 A cloth made in Lincoln�察�much worn by hunters。

475。 Errant´knight。 Knight´errant。

478。 Emprise。 Enterprise。 Cf。 Spenser�察�F。 Q。 ii。 7。 39�此 �But give me leave to follow my emprise�察─�etc。

492。 The rocky isle。 It is still known as Ellen's Isle。 ;It is rather high�察�and irregularly pyramidal。 It is mostly composed of dark´gray rocks�察�mottled with pale and gray lichens�察�peeping out here and there amid trees that mantle them��chiefly light�察�graceful birches�察�intermingled with red´berried mountain ashes and a few dark´green�察�spiry pines。 The landing is beneath an aged oak�察�and�察�as did the Lady and the Knight�察�the traveller now ascends 'a clambering unsuspected road��' by rude steps�察�to the small irregular summit of the island。 A more poetic�察�romantic retreat could hardly be imagined�此�it is unique。 It is completely hidden�察�not only by the trees�察�but also by an undergrowth of beautiful and abundant ferns and the loveliest of heather; ��Hunnewell's Lands of Scott��。
500。 Winded。 Wound�察�used for the sake of the measure�察�as in v。 22 below。 We find the participle winded in Much Ado�察�i。 1。 243�察�but it is = blown。 The verb in that sense is derived from the noun wind ��air in motion���察�and has no connection with wind�察�to turn。 Cf。 Wb。
504。 Here for retreat�察�etc。 Scott has the following note here�此 �The Celtic chieftains�察�whose lives were continually exposed to peril�察�had usually�察�in the most retired spot of their domains�察�some place of retreat for the hour of necessity�察�which�察�as circumstances would admit�察�was a tower�察�a cavern�察�or a rustic hut�察�in a strong and secluded situation。 One of these last gave refuge to the unfortunate Charles Edward�察�in his perilous wanderings after the battle of Culloden。
'It was situated in the face of a very rough�察�high�察�and rocky mountain�察�called Letternilichk�察�still a part of Benalder�察�full of great stones and crevices�察�and some scattered wood interspersed。 The habitation called the Cage�察�in the face of that mountain�察�was within a small thick bush of wood。 There were first some rows of trees laid down�察�in order to level the floor for a habitation�察�and as the place was steep�察�this raised the lower side to an equal height with the other�此�and these trees�察�in the way of joists or planks�察�were levelled with earth and gravel。 There were betwixt the trees�察�growing naturally on their own roots�察�some stakes fixed in the earth�察�which�察�with the trees�察�were interwoven with ropes�察�made of heath and birch twigs�察�up to the top of the Cage�察�it being of a round or rather oval shape�察�and the whole thatched and covered over with fog。 The whole fabric hung�察�as it were�察�by a large tree�察�which reclined from the one end�察�all along the roof�察�to the other�察�and which gave it the name of the Cage�察�and by chance there happened to be two stones at a small distance from one another�察�in the side next the precipice�察�resembling the pillars of a chimney�察�where the fire was placed。 The smoke had its vent out here�察�all along the fall of the rock�察�which was so much of the same color�察�that one could discover no difference in the clearest day' ��Home's History of the Rebellion�察�Lond。 1802�察�4to�察�p。 381��。;
525。 Idoean vine。 Some have taken this to refer to the ;red whortleberry�察─�the botanical name of which is Vaccinium vitis Idoea�察�but as that is not a climber�察�it is more probably that the common vine is here meant。 Idoean is from Ida�察�a mountain near ancient Troy ��there was another in Crete���察�famous for its vines。
526。 Clematis。 The Climatis vitalba�察�one of the popular English names of which is virgin´bower。
528。 And every favored plant could bear。 That is�察�which could endure。 This ellipsis of the relative was very common in Elizabethan English。 Cf。 Shakespeare�察�M。 for M。 ii。 2。 23�此 �I have a brother is condemned to die�察─�Rich。 II。 ii。 2。 128�此 �The hate of those love not the king�察─�etc。 See also John�察�iii。 11�察�etc。
532。 On heaven and on thy lady call。 This is said gayly�察�or sportively�察�as keeping up the idea of a knight´errant。 Cf。 475 above。

548。 Store。 Stored�察�laid up�察�an obsolete adjective。 Cf。 iii。 3 below�察�and see also on vi。 124。
551。 And there the wild´cat's�察�etc。 The MS。 reads��

559。 Garnish forth。 Cf。 furnish forth in 442 above。
566。 Brook。 Bear�察�endure�察�now seldom used ex
