Book VI. F I N G A L. 409
Hafte ! let us find the melancholy Chief,
And pacify with Words of Joy his Grief.
435 But is that he, O Fillan^ or a Wreath
Of curling Smoke afcending from the Heath ?
Too far the Objedl to difcern aright,
The Winds of Cromla dim thy Father's Sight.
He faid ; the Youth made Anfwer— We draw near
440 To Semos Son, who with a frantic Air,
Holds half unfheath'd the Sword upon his Thigh,
As if irrefolute to live or die. —
Hail to the firft of Men in martial Fields !
Hail brave Cuthullin^ Breaker of the Shields !
445 Hail (he return'd again) to thee my Friend !
And hail to all that on thy Steps attend
The Sons of Morven. — Great Fingal ! thy Sight
Gives to my troubled Soul unfeign'd Delight.
