BRUCE AND THE SPIDER
For scotland's and for freedoms right,
The Bruce his part had played,
In nve successive fields OF fight,
Been conquered and dIsmayed;
Once more against tho English host
His band he led. and once more lost
The need for which he fought;
And now. from battle, faint and worn,
The homeless fugitive forlorn
huts lone shelter sought.
And cheerless vas that resting place
For him who claimed a throne;
His canopy, devoid of grace,
The rude. rough beams alons;
The heather couch his only bed
Yet we'll ween had slumber ned
From couch of eiderdown!
Through dsrksome night Till dawn OF day.
Absorbed in wakeful thought he lay,
or Scotland and her crown.
The sun rose brightly and It's siesm
Fell on that hapess bed
And tinged with light each shapelsss beam
Which rooted the iowy shed
When. looking up with wstfui eye,
The Bruce behcld a Epider try
His flmy thread TO hinR
From beam to beam OF that rude cot;
Ana well the insects toisoms lot
Taught Scotland's future king.
Six timee his Rossamery thread
The wary spider threw:
In vain the fllmy line was sped
\ For powerless untrue
Each aim appeared, and back recoiisd.
The patient Insect, six times foiled,
And yet unconduered still:
And soon the Bruce with eager eve.
Saw him prepare cnce more to try
His courage. strength and skill.
Ono effort more, his seventh and last!
The hero hailed the sign!
And on the wished for beam hung fast
That slender. slken line
Slight as 1t was. his spirit caught
The more than omen, for his thought
The lesson we'll could trace.
Which even ''he who runs may read"
That perseverance gains It's need
And patience wins the race
