Hers their bold port, and hers their niafela
frown,
: And hers their scorn of death in Freedoms
cause,
Their ewes of azure, and theirlocks Of brown,
And the blunt speech that bursts without
! pause,
And freeborn thoughts, which league the Sol
.dicr with the Laws.
And O lov'd. warriors of the Minstrei's land
Yonder your bonncts nod, your tartans
wave. >.
The ruggid form may mark the mountain
band.
And harsher features, and a niieh more
grave;
But ane'er in battlefield throbb'd heart so
brave
- AS that which beats beneath the Scottish
plaid,
And when the pibroch bids the battle rave,
And level for the charge your arms are laid.
Where lives the desperate foe, that tor such
onset staid
| Hark! from yon stately ranks what laughter
rings,
Mingling wild mirth with wars stern min
strclsy, -.
His Jest while each blithe comrade round him
filings,
And moves to death with military g!ee!
Boast, Erin, boast them tameless, frank and
free,
In kindness warm, and fierce in danger
known,
Rough Natures children, humorous as she:
And He, yon Chieftain--strike the proudest
tone
Of thy bold harp, green Isle tho Hero is
thine own.
The tribute of encomium paid to the He
roes of Z.ragoza does at least as much honor
to the. poet as to the illustrious defenders OF

tracts, referring the reader, for further salts

Then Zaragoza--bligh GIFTED be the tongue
That names thy name without the honor due!
For never hath the harp of minstrel rung,
Of faith so felly proved, SO firmly true
Mine, sap, and bomb, thy shattered ruins
Each art-O wars extremity hau Tooli,
Twice from thy halt-saeked streets the foe

And when at length stern Fate decreed thy
doom,
They won not Zaragoza, but her children's
bloody tomb; 80 =,
