62 Malvina. A dramatic Poem.
trembling in his courfe ; no warrior f hrinking
from foes- His foul was fledfafl in clanger.
His heart like the fteel of his fword. Not
gathering hofts coud fhake his foul, or force
the chief to flight. When danger pours round
Morven. When the fpears of Grangers gleam
on our hills, then come , o Ofcar, to the aid of
thy friends. Shew them thy manly form from
thy cloud. Infpire them to follow and imitate
thy deeds. They fhall live in fong, for thoa
waft generous and brave.

Roll on ye dark winged years ! convey his
name to future times. When Morvens race has
fail'd. When Selmas mouldring towers are fal-
len. When the grey ftones of the warrior are
loft in the heath, his name fhall be rever'd,
his memory efteem'd. Future bards fhall raife
thy glory. They fhall glow at the recital of
thy valor, and melt away in thy praifc.
Choir of Bards.
Defcend ye Warrior ghofts, receive the
young hunter of Cona.
