— but it tells me of a heart, Allied by friendship's living tie ; A prize beyond the herald's art — Our soul-sprung consanguinity ! Katherine ! to many an hour of mine Light wings and sunshine you have lent ; And so adieu, and still be thine The all in-all of life— Content! * A Norman leader, in the service of the king of Scotland, married the heiress of Lochow in the twelfth century, and from him the Camp- bells are sprung. Campbell's poems. 157 STANZAS To the memory of the Spanish Patriots la...test killed in re- listing the Regency ajid the Duke of Angouleme. Brave men who at the Trocadero fell — Beside your cannons conquered not, though slain, There is a Victory in dying well For Freedom, — and ye have not died in vain ; For come what may there shall be hearts in Spain To honour, ay embrace your martyred lot. Cursing the Bigot's and the Bourbon's chain, And looking on your graves, though trophied not, As holier, hallowed ground than priests could make the spot ! What though your cause be baffled — freemen cast In dungeons — dragged to death, or forced to flee ; Hope is not withered in affliction's blast — The patriot's blood's the seed of Freedom's tree ; And short your orgies of revenge shall be, Cowled demons of the Inquisitorial cell !
