^raife, and bade the ghofls of his fathers convey hhn to the place
of their reft.
But they heard us not, faid Comhal ; his ghofl ftill haunts
thefe dreary rocks. His courfe is not on funny hills ; on green
niofTy vales in Morven. Ye ghofls of woody Lochlin, who then
purfued vis in the florm ; vain is your attempt, if you think
to detain Dargo. Your numbers may be many, but you fliall
not prevail. Trenmor f fliall come from Morven's cloxids, and
fcatter, with his blafl, your dim forms. Your curhng mifls, like
the beard of the thiftle of Ardven, fliall fly before the ruler of the
f^orm. — And thou, Dargo, fhalt ride with him, on the Ikirt of
his robe, and rejoice with the air-borne fons of thy people.—
R.aife, Ullin, the fong, and praife his deeds : he will know thy
voice, and rejoice in the found of his fame. And if any of the
ghofls of Lochlin are near, let them hear of the coming of Tren-
mor.
Peace to thy foul, faid Ullin, as he reared his voice; peace to
thy foul, dweller of the caves of the rock ; why fo long in the
land of ftrangers ? Art thou forced to fight the battle of clovids
with Lochlin's ghofls, alone ; or do the thoufand thongs of air
confine thee ? Often, O Dargo, didft thou contend with a whole
hofl ; and, flill, thy ghofl maintains the unequal combat. But
Trenmor fliall foon come, and lift the broad fliield and airy blade
in thine aid. He will purfue the troubled ghofls of Lochlin be-
fore him, like the withered leaf of Maimer's oak, when it is
caught in the folds of the whirlwind. — Peace to thy foul, till
then,
t Trenmor, " tall and mighty •," the great-grandfather of Fingal.
