The poems of Ossian | ||
THE MONUMENT.
In vain we toil for lasting fame,Or give to other times our name;
The bust itself shall soon be gone,
The figure moulder from the stone;
The plaintive strain, the moving lay,
Like those they mourn, at last decay:
My name a surer way shall live,
A surer way, my fair can give:
In her dear mem'ry let me live alone;
When Nisa dies, I wish not to be known.
