Many a voice and many a harp in tuneful founds arofe. Of Fin-
gal's noble deeds they fung, and of the noble race of the hero. And
fometimes on the lovely found was heard the name of the now
mournful Offian.
Often have I fought, and often won in battles of the fpear. But
blind, and tearful, and forlorn I now walk with little men. O Fin-
gal, with thy race of battle I now behold thee not. The wild roes
feed upon the green tomb of the mighty king of Morven. Bleft
be thy foul, thou king of fwords, thou moft renowned on the hills
of Cona !
