ON THE POEMS OF OSSIAN.
Erat sicat splendidam virginem
In lecto juxta se collocare.
Dura venit tempestas clypeis
Cadaver cecidit in terram
In Nortumbria
Erat circa matutinxim tempus
Hominibus necessum erat fugere
Ex prselio ubi acute
Cassidis campos mordebant gladii
Erat hoc veluti juvenem viduam
In primaria sede osculari.
Herthiofe evasit fortunatus
In Australibus Orcadibus ipse
Yictoriae in nostris hominibus
Cogebatur in armorum nimbo
Rogvaldus occumbere
Ifite venit summus super accipitres
Luctus in gladiorum ludo
Strenue jactabat concussor
Galeas sanguinis teli.
Qtrilibet jacebat transversim supra alium
Gaudebat pugna laetus
Accipiter ob gladiorum ludum
Non fecit aquilam aut aprum
Qui Irlandiam giibernavit
Conventus fiebat ferri et clj-pei
Marstanus rex jejunis
Fiebat in vedrse sLau
Praeda data corvis.
BellatcJreta multum vidi cadere
Mante ante machjeram
Vimm in mucronum dissidio
Filio meo incidit mature
Gladiusjuxta cor
Egillus fecit Agnerum spoliatura
Imperterritum virum vita
Sonuit lancea prope Hamdi
Griseam loricam splendebant vexilla.
