The Critical Review says of the following stanza ��xxxiv���此 �Such a strange and romantic dream as may be naturally expected to flow from the extraordinary events of the day。  It might�察�perhaps�察�be quoted as one of Mr。 Scott's most successful efforts in descriptive poetry。 Some few lines of it are indeed unrivalled for delicacy and melancholy tenderness。;
