CaledoniaA Ballad (第2/2页)
let fly, the daring ihey fled or they died. the cameleon-savage disturb'd her repose, with tumult, disquiet, rebellion, and strife; provok'd beyond bearing, at last she arose, and robb'd him at once of his hopes and his life: the anglian lion, the terror of france, oft prowling, ensanguin'd the tweed's silver flood; but, taught by the bright caledonian lance, he learo fear in his own native wood. the fell harpy-raven took wing from the north, the sce of the seas, and the dread of the shore; the wild sdinavian boar issued forth to wanton in age and wallow in gore: o'er tries and kingdoms their fury prevail'd, no arts could appease them, no arms could repel; but brave caledonia in vain they assail'd, as largs well witness, and loncartie tell. thus bold, indepe, unquer'd, and free, her bright course of glory for ever shall run: for brave caledonia immortal must be; i'll prove it from euclid as clear as the sun: regle—triahe figure we'll chuse: the upright is ce, and old time is the base; but brave caledonia's the hypothenuse; then, ergo, she'll match them, and match them always.
