CARRICTHXJRA. 171
Quare ekvàstl tu tuum supercilium cum torvltate !
Quare quasses tu supra tuam hastam ?
Est exiguus meus metus ad tuum sermonem, vir inaiils.
Haud fugi ego ab exercitu in acie ;
Quare fugiat à semine ventorum
Eximius bellator haud vanus, rex Morvenis ?
Haud fugiet I Est illi notitia, si non sit coecusj
De infirmitate tuae manùs in conflictu.
Fuge ad tuam terram, respondit forma ;
Fuge super vento atro ; esto abiens.
Est flamen in vola meae manus ;
Sunt mihi iter et vis procellarum ;
Est rex Sorae meus filius ipsius ;
Est ejus genuflexio in monte ad meam spec^jsm j
Est ejus pugna ad rupem centuriarum,
Et reportabit sine injuria victoriam.
Fuge ad tuam terram ipsius, iili Comalls,
Aut experire aterrimè meam iram.
Sustulit ille in altum suam ha.stam atram;
Inclinavit ille barbarè suum caput arduum ;
He lifted high his shadowy spear ! he bent forward
his dreadful height. Fingal advancing, drew his sword;
the blade of dark-brown Luno. The gleaming path of
the steel winds through the gloomy ghost. The form
fell shapeless into air; like a column of smoke, which
the staff of the boy disturbs as it rises from the hsiif-.
extinguished furnace.
