He calls Sayers' pen "masterly" that wrote these lines: Coucher of the ponderous spear, Thou shout'st amid the battle's stound-- The armed Sisters hear, Viewless hurrying o'er the ground They strike the destin'd chiefs and call them to the skies.
(P. 168. ) From Penrose he quotes such lines as these: The feast begins, the skull goes round, Laughter shouts--the shouts resound. The gust of war subsides--E'en now The grim chief curls his cheek, and smooths his rugged brow.
(P. 171. ) From Sterling... comes this imitation of Gray: Now the rage of combat burns, Haughty chiefs on chiefs lie slain; The battle glows and sinks by turns, Death and carnage load the plain.
(P 172. ) From these extracts, it appears that the poets who imitated Grayconsidered that only "dreadful songs, " like his, were to be found inScandinavian poetry.
Downman, Herbert and Mathias are also adduced by Dr. Drake as examplesof poets who have gained much by Old Norse borrowings, but theseborrowings are invariably scenes from a chamber of horrors.
