seized upon the most striking part OF the poem
that where the gray old bard harls bis curse upon
tie hing and his possessions, account Of the
murder OF the boy minstrel, who SINKS dying at bic
fset-and bis conception ID expressed Ia marble
With simpcity md truth that stamp him as an
artist Of unquestioned genius. Tho great merit OF
