DUNCAN AND HELEN. 77
" Lang, lang/' quo' he, " wi' boiling blood,
" Wi* deadly strength he strade ;
" At Charlie's side he bravely stood,
^^ Till Death his vengeance staid."
Sic dolefii' news, as ye may trow.
Her very heart-strings rent ;
To lily white her rose cheek grew.
Nor glimpse o' comfort kent.
She shunn'd the bonny singing bum.
She shunn'd the flowery brae ;
Sic weel-kent scenes aye made her mourn^
An' eiked to her wae.
Her father kind an' mither dear.
Wad gaze on her unseen.
An' dight the saft paternal tear
That trembled in their een.
