shadows o'er Clan´Alpine's grave�察 �And�察�answering Lomond's breezes deep�察 �Soothe many a chieftain's endless sleep。 The Cross thus formed he held on high�察 �With wasted hand and haggard eye�察 �And strange and mingled feelings woke�察 �While his anathema he spoke��


IX。

'Woe to the clansman who shall view  This symbol of sepulchral yew�察 �Forgetful that its branches grew  Where weep the heavens their holiest dew       On Alpine's dwelling low�  �Deserter of his Chieftain's trust�察 �He ne'er shall mingle with their dust�察 �But�察�from his sires and kindred thrust�察 �Each clansman's execration just      Shall doom him wrath and woe。'  He paused�察 �the word the vassals took�察 �With forward step and fiery look�察 �On high their naked brands they shook�察 �Their clattering targets wildly strook�察     �And first in murmur low�察 �Then like the billow in his course�察�That far to seaward finds his source�察 �And flings to shore his mustered force�察 �Burst with loud roar their answer hoarse�察�'Woe to the traitor�察�woe��' Ben´an's gray scalp the accents knew�察 �The joyous wolf from covert drew�察 �The exulting eagle screamed afar�察 �They knew the voice of Alpine's war。


X。

The shout was hushed on lake and fell�察 �The Monk resumed his muttered spell�此�Dismal and low its accents came�察 �The while he scathed the Cross with flame�察 �And the few words that reached the air�察 �Although the holiest name was there�察 �Had more of blasphemy than prayer。  But when he shook above the crowd  Its kindled points�察�he spoke aloud�此 �'Woe to the wretch who fails to rear  At this dread sign the ready spear�  �For�察�as the flames this symbol sear�察 �His home�察�the refuge of his fear�察     �A kindred fate shall know�察 �Far o'er its roof the volumed flame  Clan´Alpine's vengeance shall proclaim�察 �While maids and matrons on his name  Shall call down wretchedness and shame�察     �And infamy and woe。' Then rose the cry of females�察�shrill   As goshawk's whistle on the hill�察   �Denouncing misery and ill�察  �Mingled with childhood's babbling trill        Of curses stammered slow�察  �Answering with imprecation dread�察  �'Sunk be his home in embers red�   �And cursed be the meanest shed   That o'er shall hide the houseless head        We doom to want and woe��' A sharp and shrieking echo gave�察  �Coir´Uriskin�察�thy goblin cave�   �And the gray pass where birches wave      On Beala´nam´bo。


XI。

Then deeper paused the priest anew�察 �And hard his laboring breath he drew�察�While�察�with set teeth and clenched hand�察 �And eyes that glowed like fiery brand�察 �He meditated curse more dread�察 �And deadlier�察�on the clansman's head  Who�察�summoned to his chieftain's aid�察 �The signal saw and disobeyed。  The crosslet's points of sparkling wood  He quenched among the bubbling blood。  And�察�as again the sign he reared�察 �Hollow and hoarse his voice was heard�此 �'When flits this Cross from man to man�察 �Vich´Alpine's summons to his clan�察 �Burst be the ear that fails to heed�  �Palsied the foot that shuns to speed�  �May ravens tear the careless eyes�察 �Wolves make the coward heart their prize�  �As sinks that blood´stream in the earth�察 �So may his heart's´blood drench his hearth�  �As dies in hissing gore the spark�察 �Quench thou his light�察�Destruction dark�  �And be the grace to him denied�察 �Bought by this sign to all beside�   �He ceased�察�no echo gave again  The murmur of the deep Amen。


XII。

Then Roderick with impatient look  From Brian's hand the symbol took�此 �'Speed�察�Malise�察�speed' he said�察�and gave  The crosslet to his henchman brave。  'The muster´place be Lanrick mead  Instant the time´speed�察�Malise�察�speed��' Like heath´bird�察�when the hawks pursue�察 �A barge across Loch Katrine flew�此�High stood the henchman on the prow�察 �So rapidly the barge´mall row�察 �The bubbles�察�where they launched the boat�察 �Were all unbroken and afloat�察 �Dancing in foam and ripple still�察 �When it had neared the mainland hill�察 �And from the silver beach's side  Still was the prow three fathom wide�察 �When lightly bounded to the land  The messenger of blood and brand。


XIII。

Speed�察�Malise�察�speed� �the dun deer's hide  On fleeter foot was never tied。  Speed�察�Malise�察�speed� �such cause of haste  Thine active sinews never braced。  Bend 'gainst the steepy hill thy breast�察 �Burst down like torrent from its crest�察 �With short and springing footstep pass  The trembling bog and false morass�察 �Across the brook like roebuck bound�察 �And thread the brake like questing hound�察 �The crag is high�察�the scaur is deep�察 �Yet shrink not from the desperate leap�此 �Parched are thy burning lips and brow�察 �Yet by the fountain pause not now�察 �Herald of battle�察�fate�察�and fear�察 �Stretch onward in thy fleet career�  �The wounded hind thou track'st not now�察 �Pursuest not maid through greenwood bough�察 �Nor priest thou now thy flying pace  With rivals in the mountain race�察 �But danger�察�death�察�and warrior deed  Are in thy coursespeed�察�Malise�察�speed��


XIV。

Fast as the fatal symbol flies�察 �In arms the huts and hamlets rise�察 �From winding glen�察�from upland brown�察 �They poured each hardy tenant down。  Nor slacked the messenger his pace�察 �He showed the sign�察�he named the place�察 �And�察�pressing forward like the wind�察 �Left clamor and surprise behind。  The fisherman forsook the strand�察 �The swarthy smith took dirk and brand�察 �With changed cheer�察�the mower blithe  Left in the half´cut swath his scythe�察 �The herds without a keeper strayed�察 �The plough was in mid´furrow staved�察 �The falconer tossed his hawk away�察 �The hunter left the stag at hay�察 �Prompt at the signal of alarms�察 �Each son of Alpine rushed to arms�察 �So swept the tumult and affray  Along the margin of Achray。  Alas�察�thou lovely lake� �that e'er  Thy banks should echo sounds of fear�  �The rocks�察�the bosky thickets�察�sleep  So stilly on thy bosom deep�察 �The lark's blithe carol from the cloud  Seems for the scene too gayly loud。


XV。

Speed�察�Malise�察�speed� �The lake is past�察 �Duncraggan's huts appear at last�察 �And peep�察�like moss´grown rocks�察�half seen  Half hidden in the copse so green�察�There mayst thou rest�察�thy labor done�察 �Their lord shall speed the signal on。  As stoops the hawk upon his prey�察 �The henchman shot him down the way。  What woful accents load the gale�拭 �The funeral yell�察�the female wail�  �A gallant hunter's sport is o'er�察 �A valiant warrior fights no more。  Who�察�in the battle or the chase�察 �At Roderick's side shall fill his place�  �Within the hall�察�where torch's ray  Supplies the excluded beams of day�察 �Lies Duncan on his lowly bier�察 �And o'er him streams his widow's tear。  His stripling son stands mournful by�察 �His youngest weeps�察�but knows not why�察 �The village maids and matrons round  The dismal coronach resound。


XVI。

Coronach。

He is gone on the mountain�察     �He is lost to the forest�察�Like a summer´dried fountain�察     �When our need was the sorest。 The font�察�reappearing�察     �From the rain´drops shall borrow�察�But to us comes no cheering�察     �To Duncan no morrow��

The hand of the reaper      Takes the ears that are hoary�察�But the voice of the weeper      Wails manhood in glory。 The autumn winds rushing      Waft the leaves that are searest�察�But our flower was in flushing�察     �When blighting was nearest。

Fleet foot on the correi�察     �Sage counsel in cumber�察�Red hand in the foray�察     �How sound is thy slumber� �Like the dew on the mountain�察     �Like the foam on the river�察�Like the bubble on the fountain�察     �Thou art gone�察�and forever��


XVII。 

See Stumah�察�who�察�the bier beside  His master's corpse with wonder eyed�察 �Poor Stumah� �whom his least halloo  Could send like lightning o'er the dew�察 �Bristles his crest�察�and points his ears�察 �As if some stranger step he hears。  'T is not a mourner's muffled tread�察 �Who comes to sorrow o'er the dead�察 �But headlong haste or deadly fear  Urge the precipitate career。  All stand aghast��unheeding all�察 �The henchman bursts into the hall�察 �Before the dead man's bier he stood�察 �Held forth the Cross besmeared with blood�察 �'The muster´place is Lanrick mead�察 �Speed forth the signal� �clansmen。 speed��'


XVIII��

Angus�察�the heir of Duncan's line�察 �Sprung forth and seized the fatal sign。 In haste the stripling to his side  His father's dirk and broadsword tied�察 �But when he saw his mother's eye  Watch him in speechless agony�察 �Back to her opened arms he flew  Pressed on her lips a fond adieu�察 �'Alas ; she sobbed��' and yet be gone�察 �And speed thee forth�察�like Duncan's son��'  One look he cast upon the bier�察 �Dashed from his eye the gathering tear�察 �Breathed deep to clear his laboring breast�察 �And tossed aloft his bonnet crest�察 �Then�察�like the high´bred colt when�察�freed�察 �First he essays his fire and speed�察 �He vanished�察�and o'er moor and moss  Sped forward with the Fiery Cross。  Suspended was the widow's tear  While yet his footsteps she could hear�察 �And when she marked the henchman's eye  Wet with unwonted sympathy�察 �'Kinsman��' she said�察�'his race is run  That should have sped shine errand on 。  The oak teas fallen��the sapling bough Is all  Duncraggan's shelter now  Yet trust I well�察�his duty done�察 �The orphan's God will guard my son。  And you�察�in many a danger true  At Duncan's hest your blades that drew�察 �To arms�察�and guard that orphan's head�  �Let babes and women wail the dead。'  Then weapon´ clang and martial call  Resounded through the funeral hall�察 �While f
