Not illustrated.1823 Excerpt: ... STKILA. CANTO FIRST. JLRE Ether spread o'er Earth her wide domain, These firm basalts began their hardy reign: Doomed to behold the changeful mind of fate, To shelter freedom and protect the great--To generate Kings--reward the victor's toil--Ennoble heroes--tyrants' fetters foil; And ah! too oft hath Discord's bloody car Waved o'er their heads the cloud of civil war. How many nations have usurped their brow, Their banners been as often levelled low; Rome's conquering arms, remembrance tells, essayed To settle here and guard their conquests made. Danes, Picts, and England's powerful force, Tyrannic chains, ambition's course, Have curbed their splendour with oppressive reins, And tried in vain to stagnate Freedom's veins. But Caledon hath long her flag unfurled, And now Britannia's checks the envious world. Mouldering in wreaths of dark obscurity, The early proofs of Stirling's grandeur lie: What time her stately turrets first arose, The page of memory can ne'er disclose; But many a truth-fraught tale survives to trace The various troubles she halh undergone; And many a splendid vestige lives to grace The aged annals of her great renown. Here regal power hath weighed the long debate, And laws, enjoined propitious to the state; Here heroes brave their country's foes subdued, And lived devoted to their country's good. Their glorious deeds shall gild the teeming page, And shed a lustring beam through every age. Then Wallace first, the patriot, statesman, friend Shall not with kings nor lesser heroes blend; But like his actions high in glory rise, And waft his honours, to the bending skies. Dark lowered the mantling cloud of woe O'er Caledonia's earth, When Elderslie, with sympathetic glow, Proclaimed her hero's birth. Enraptured Freedom hailed his natal breath, ..
