Стр. 83 - There, interspersed in lawns and opening glades, Thin trees arise that shun each other's shades. Here in full light the russet plains extend : There wrapt in clouds the bluish hills ascend. Ev'n the wild heath displays her purple dyes, And 'midst the desert fruitful fields arise, That, crown'd with tufted trees and springing corn, Like verdant isles, the sable waste adorn.

Стр. 64 - From the greed of the Campbells, From the ire of the Drummonds, From the pride of the Grahams, From the wind of the Murrays, Good Lord, deliver us...
Стр. 17 - mong intermingled trees ! Above whose aged tops, the joyful swains At even-tide, descending from the hill, With eye enamour'd, mark the many wreaths Of pillar'd smoke, high-curling to the clouds.
Стр. 63 - Swells the exulting thought, expands the soul, Drowning each ruder care : a blooming train Of bright ideas rushes on the mind. Imagination rouses at the scene ; And backward, through the gloom of ages past, Beholds Arcadia, like a rural queen, Encircled with her swains and rosy nymphs, The mazy dance...
Стр. 24 - Her looks were like a flower in May, Her smile was like a simmer morn ; She tripped by the banks of Earn, As light's a bird upon a thorn. Her bonny face it was as meek As ony lamb upon a lea ; The evening sun was ne'er sae sweet As was the blink o
