104 THE DEATH OF CARRIL.
THE DEATH OF CARRIL.
I.
In Tara's hall, (the hall of tuneful lyres !)
The feast was spread (i) — the cup dispelled our woes !
'Twas then dissension woke the heroes' ire,
And Carril mild, and mighty Moma rose.
II.
They rose to wrestle, and they strove with might,
Their trampling sounded like the ocean's roar ;
Loudly their hosoms panted in the fight ; —
The anxious nobles gazed in anguish sore.
III.
With feaiful vigour now they twined and turned ;
Th' upr ended earth yields to their tread away ;
Throughout the day the ftirious conflict burned,
And night descended on the equal fray.
