from Beedswair-Path, To the wild confines of Cape-Wrath ; Wide let the news through Scotland ring, The Northern Eagle claps his wing ! " memorated the tall and stately persons, as well as the unswerv- ing faith, of these foresters. Nor has their interesting fall escaped the notice of an elegant modern poetess, whose subject led her to treat of that calamitous engagement. u The glance of the morn had sparkled bright On their plumage green and their actons light ; The bugle was strung at each hun...ter's side, As they had been bound to the chase to ride ; But the bugle is mute, and the shafts are spent, The arm unnerved and the bow unbent, And the tired forester is laid Far, far from the clustering greenwood shade ! Sore have they toil'd — they are fallen asleep, And their slumber is heavy, and dull, and deep ! When over their bones the grass shall wave, When the wild winds over their tombs shall rave, Memory shall lean on their graves, and tell How Selkirk's hunters bold around old Stewart fell !
