204 (3SSIAN'S DISTRESS.
sorrowful heart is every distressful tale that comes
from thy mouth ; although thy enemies are be-
come many, for them it is vain to struggle; vic-
tory shall never bless a society without love, and
without good luck, j'roni the east and from the
west, from the north and from the south, the va-
liant heroes are coming forth, to clothe the Finga-
lians in their proper dress.
Return thou to thy rest, lovely Ossian, and
weep no more for those who are gone; as long as
the sun and moon shall remain, they shall not be
numbered among the dead; and until all things
under the sun shall change, gentle bard of many
tales, thy power and thy fame shall not fail, and
the remembrance of thee shall not be cut off from
among the people.
