Strathallans Lamen
strathallan's lament 注释标题 burns fesses that his jacobtism was merely seal “except when my passions were heated by some actal cause,” and a tour through the try where montrose, claverhouse, and prince charles had fought, was cause enough. strathallan fell gloriously at culloden.—lang. thickest night, my dwelling! howling tempests, o'er me rave! turbid torrents, wintry swelling, r by my lonely cave! crystal streamlets gently flowing, busy haunts of base mankind, western breezes softly blowing, suit not my distracted mind. in the cause ht engaged, wrongs injurious to redress, honour's war we strongly waged, but the heavens denied success. ruin's wheel has driven o'er us, not a hope that dare attend, the wide world is all before us— but a world without a friend.
