Clubbe 175 Lines Inscribed on the back ground of the Case in which this beautiful Bird is On a Lady dying of a Consumption, Maunde 182 Elegy on the Death of a Daughter J. Taylor, The man was clad in a mantle red, And his bonnet was large and dark ; So musing still, he gained the hill, The lady's bower to mark. Twas black and drear; the silent trees Stood tall, and still, arvund; The water gave no sound. But the lady bright, on the battlements height, He saw by the burning moon; From her locks so light, and her garments white, The stranger knew her soon, " Ho ! Lady Anne, tủou must come down ; Thy husband sends for thee :“ By the cross of stone, on the heath alone, “ He waits to fly with thee. For the fight is o'er, and the rebel power, “ Hath vanquished its lord ; “ And now his store is nothing more, “ But only his good sword.”. "Now tell me knight! by a warrior's might, “I charge thee, tell me true ** If from the fight, this fatal night, « My love, unhurt withdrew! “Ah! be my bed, the leaves that are shed, “ By Autumn's hollow wind, “ If on his breast, my head but rest, “ The sweetest sleep I'll find.”. _" He waits for thee,”—the knight replied, * By the mouldering cross of stone; Thy sleep will be sweet:” the stranger sigh’d“ But never sweet alone. « Comc, mount thee here; nay do not fear, Tho' the clouds be gathering fast : “ My courser's swift, for his career, Is like the ocean's blast.”. They rode o'er hill, they rode o'er vale, They rode thro' the groaning wood; Till by the glare of the lightning pale, They saw the holy rood. And near it lay a comely form, In dusky armour drest- Could not break his rest, The warrior slept, and the lady stepped His well-known form to fold; is not so icy cold. With piercing cries she rais'd her eyes, And the stranger stood by her side; And his dark plume floated wide. His steed was formed of the foaming surf Which rvars on Killarney's lake, When the furious blast its water casts, And rocking turrets shake. • Behold your Lord!" the phantom said, “ The fight indeed is o'er; “ And under this shade my corse is laid, “ To sleep for evermore. But tħou must with me; for the shoreless sea “ Is given us for our reign ; “ And Killarney's lake each year shall quake For its prince and hero slain. Killarney's hills, and Killarney's caves, « Our lonely dwellings must be, « Till this yearly hour, when its shuddering waves, • My airy horse shall see: • Then in angry pomp, thro’ the waters wide, “ In lightning and thunder drest, “ Your prince shall ride, while the stormy tide * O'erwhelms his vassal's rest. |
