Seite 324 - Hodney's mountain stream. Perchance thy youth Has read with eager wonder how the Knight Of Wales in Ormandine's enchanted bower Slept the long sleep ; and, if that in thy veins Flow the pure blood of Britain, sure that blood Hath flowed with quicker impulse at the tale Of David's deeds, when through...
Seite 205 - STATELY the feast, and high the cheer: Girt with many an armed peer, And canopied with golden pall, Amid CILGARRAN'S castle hall, Sublime in formidable state, * And warlike splendour, Henry sate; Prepar'd to stain the briny flood Of Shannon's lakes with rebel blood.
