LA GUERRA
D'INISTONA
Oonno di cacciator sembra sul monte
Trascorsa giovinezza. Ei s'addormenta
Fra'rai del Sol , ma si risveglia in mezzo
D'aspra tempesta , i rosseggianti lampi
Volano intorno, e le ramose cime
Scotono i boschi; ei si rivolge, e cerca
Il dì del Sol che già s' ascose, e i dolci
Sogni del suo riposo : Ossian , e quando
Tornerà giovinezza? il suon dell'armi
Quando conforterà gli orecchi miei?
Quando mi fia di spaziar concesso
Entro la luce del mio acciaro antico (a),
Come un tempo Oscar mio? Venite o collJ(ì
Del patrio Cona, e voi venite , o fonti,
D'Ossian il canto ad ascoltare; il canto
Già mi spunta nell' alma a par del Sole :
E alla letizia de' passati tempi
(a) L'originale: viaggiare. L'espressione lia qualche so-
miglianza a questa d' Isaia e. 63. v. i. Gradiens in multitndi
ne fortitudinis suce.
