Verses Intended To Be Written Below A No（1 / 1）

verses intended to be written below a noble earl's picture 注释标题 the nobleman is james, fourteenth earl of glencairn.

whose is that noble, dauntless brow?

and whose that eye of fire?

and whose that generous princely mien,

e'en rooted foes admire?

stranger! to justly show that brow,

and mark that eye of fire,

would take his hand, whose vernal tints

his other works admire.

bright as a cloudless summer sun,

with stately port he moves;

his guardian seraph eyes with awe

the noble ward he loves.

among the illustrious scottish sons

that chief thou may'st discern,

mark scotia's fond-returning eye,—

it dwells upon glencairn.
